About this work

This painting shows a small desk scene. A red box sits open, revealing an empty space inside. Next to it is a strange, swirled vase with yellow flowers. A black inkwell and pen lie on a piece of paper, while a dark flat surface and a few scattered petals complete the scene. The brushstrokes are loose and uneven, giving the whole thing a rough, unfinished look. The colors are simple: red, black, and earthy browns. If you like this kind of setup, look up still life.
