About this work

This painting shows a big bouquet of flowers in a dark vase. The flowers are mostly white and purple with some yellow leaves mixed in. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. The dark background makes the bright flowers stand out even more. The way the paint is applied looks almost three-dimensional in spots. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
