About this work

This painting shows a bunch of roses in a glass vase. The flowers are mostly white and soft pink, with some green leaves mixed in. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. The artist focused on the flowers’ details, like the way light hits the petals. The background is a plain, light-colored wall, keeping the flowers as the main star. Look up impasto to see how this thick paint technique works.
