About this work

This painting shows a close-up of bright yellow flowers with some pink and white ones mixed in. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the flowers a textured look. Dark green stems and leaves fill the background, making the colors pop. The flowers look like they’re in a vase, but the focus is on their bold colors and rough brushwork. The painting feels lively and a little messy, which makes it stand out. If you like this style, check out the technique: impasto.
