About this work

This painting shows a dark bottle and a vase of wilting flowers on a rough table. The flowers are bright pink and orange, but some petals are drooping. The background is plain and blurry, keeping focus on the objects. The brushstrokes are thick and messy, almost like the paint was slapped on. The colors pop against the dull table, making the flowers stand out even more. If you like this style, look up impasto.
