About this work

This painting shows a simple still life on a dark, rough-looking table. A blue-and-white vase holds two pale pink roses with green leaves. Next to it sits a yellow lemon and a few red flowers. The background is blurry, with muted greens and browns. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the painting a textured, almost rough feel. The colors pop against the dark surface, making the flowers and lemon stand out. If you like this style, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint layers.
