Impasto Floral Still Life Painting

This item is an unframed oil painting depicting a floral still life, executed in a distinct impasto style. The painting features a vibrant bouquet of flowers, predominantly in shades of red, burgundy, pink, and yellow, arranged within a golden-brown vase. The background is a soft, muted sage green or pale blue-green, with an orange-red light source or shadow emanating from behind the vase, creating depth and warmth. The flowers are rendered with thick, visible brushstrokes and palette knife applications, giving them a three-dimensional texture that is characteristic of the impasto technique. White and light pink blossoms provide contrast and highlights within the bouquet, interspersed with delicate green foliage and small yellow berry-like elements. The vase itself appears to be a simple, bulbous form. The painting is executed on a rigid support, likely a panel or board, rather than stretched canvas, as suggested by the flat, cut edges. Visible condition issues include some wear and slight discoloration, particularly around the edges. The top right corner shows a small chip or minor damage to the material. There are no discernible artist's signatures, marks, or stamps visible in the provided image. The style suggests a mid-20th century to late-20th century aesthetic, possibly falling into the 'factory art' or decorative art category due to its common subject matter and execution style, which was popular during that period for mass-produced decor. The craftsmanship, while expressive, appears to be designed for decorative appeal rather than fine art connoisseurship, focusing on color and texture to create an attractive visual.
