About this work

This painting shows a big bunch of wilting flowers in a vase. The petals are mostly white and pale yellow, some drooping or half-open. The background is dark and blurry, so the flowers stand out. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, almost like the paint was slapped on. The flowers look real but messy, like they were painted quickly. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
