About this work

This painting shows a dark blue vase filled with bright yellow and white flowers. The blooms spill over the sides, some leaning or falling out. Green leaves mix in, and the background is a dark, brushy green. The colors are bold—no soft blends, just thick, bright strokes. The flowers look fresh but slightly wild, like they’re growing right out of the vase. The brushstrokes are heavy, almost like the paint was slapped on, which makes the colors pop even more. If you like this style, look up impasto.
