About this work

Two kids play near a big, fancy vase in a garden. One stands on tiptoe to reach a flower, while the other bends down, maybe picking something from the ground. The vase is white with carved details and holds a tall green plant. Around them, bushes and flowers spill over a low wall, painted in loose, brushy strokes. The artist used thick paint in some spots, making the vase and leaves look almost three-dimensional. The light hits the kids’ faces and the vase, while shadows darken the background. Look up impasto to see how this thick-paint technique works.
