About this work

This painting shows a close-up of branches heavy with blossoms. The flowers are soft pink, white, and yellow, while the leaves are green with blue shadows. The brushstrokes are loose and bright, with some dark lines showing the stems and veins. The artist used watercolor, which lets the colors blend and glow. The background is mostly gray-blue, helping the flowers stand out. Look up Jacob Epstein next to see more of his work.
