About this work

This painting shows a dark vase filled with wilted flowers sitting on a rough wooden table. The flowers are mostly red, orange, and white, with some green leaves mixed in. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, making the colors look almost messy. The flowers seem to be fading, with some petals drooping or falling off. The dark background makes the bright colors of the flowers stand out even more. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
