About this work

This painting shows a shiny metal pot sitting on a table. Next to it are three empty picture frames leaning against the wall, and a red brush lies on top of a blue box. The background is mostly green and gray, with a window letting in some light. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, making the colors look almost rough. The pot reflects light in a way that makes it stand out against the simpler shapes around it. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
