About this work

Three people in light, loose clothes are bent over a bush of bright red flowers. Their faces are turned toward the blossoms, hands reaching in. The background is a soft green blur, like trees or bushes, with sunlight dappling the scene. One person wears a hat, another has a light scarf or cloth draped over their shoulder. The flowers stand out sharply against the softer greens, making them the focus. The brushstrokes on the flowers look thick and almost textured, like you could feel the petals. This painting uses impasto—check out how it makes the flowers pop.
