About this work

This painting shows a young girl with a round face and short hair, looking straight ahead. Her eyes are two small green dots, and her lips are a bold red. She wears a light-colored dress with a few small orange shapes on it. The background is a mix of green and brown brushstrokes, giving it a rough, textured look. The paint is thick in places, almost like it was slapped on quickly. If you like this style, look up impasto.
