About this work

This painting shows a window with a view of trees and sky outside. Inside, there’s a bright orange box on a ledge, a vase with flowers, and a chair with a curved back. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the colors look almost textured. The flowers in the vase are painted in bold pinks and greens, standing out against the muted blues and greens outside. The window frame is dark, which makes the light from outside feel stronger. Try looking up impasto next to see how this thick paint technique works.
