About this work

This painting shows a yellow vase with white flowers on a table. The flowers are loose and full, spilling over the vase’s sides. Next to the vase lies an open book and a folded piece of paper. The brushstrokes are thick, almost rough, with bright colors like orange and blue in the background. The way the paint is applied looks uneven, with some areas almost textured. This technique makes the painting feel lively and a little messy. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
