About this work

This painting shows a dark vase packed with flowers. The blooms are mostly white and deep red, with some purple and green leaves mixed in. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the colors pop against the warm, peachy background. The flowers look almost alive, with petals painted in quick, bold strokes. The vase itself is dark and simple, letting the bright flowers stand out. If you like this style, check out impasto.
