About this work

This painting shows a small table with everyday objects. There’s a white teapot with a lid, a glass vase holding bright yellow flowers, and an open book with a red cover. A folded scarf lies on top of the book, and a framed picture hangs on the wall behind it. The colors are mostly soft blues and greens, but the scarf and flowers add pops of red and yellow. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, making the scene feel alive despite the stillness. The flowers look almost like they’re glowing against the darker background. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
