The background is a solid green color. The flowers are painted in thick, heavy brushstrokes, giving them a textured look. The leaves and stems are also painted with visible brushstrokes, adding to the overall sense of movement and energy in the painting. The painting is done in a style that emphasizes bold colors and textures. To learn more about this style, look up the technique of impasto.
