About this work

This painting shows a bold yellow flower with thick black petals. The petals are uneven and brushy, like they were painted quickly. The background is just a plain white canvas. The black paint is thick in spots, almost standing up from the canvas. That’s called *impasto*—it gives the petals a textured look. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
