About this work

This painting shows a dark background packed with flowers. The blooms are mostly red and white, some with soft pink edges, all tangled together. A few leaves peek through, and the brushstrokes look thick and textured, almost like you could feel the petals if you reached in. The dark background makes the flowers stand out sharply. The way the paint is layered gives it a three-dimensional feel, like the flowers are popping forward. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
