Painting description

On the canvas, row after row of tulips pulses; vibrant yellows and oranges with a warm red outline stand against a cool background of turquoise, violet, and green. The composition is grid-like, repetitive; the stems stream down in vertical streaks like rain. Thick passages of paint, impasto, quick gestures, and controlled drips suggest an expressive style, somewhat decorative but with an edge. The atmosphere is sunny, cheerful, and yet slightly jittery, kind of like little flames. I like those yellow little flowers; they’re cheerful. I take it as the rhythm of the city and a garden in one, a vibe, and at the same time a murmuring choir of plants. The repetition soothes, though it also tires a bit, like a refrain played just a little too loud. I look and I want to breathe more deeply, really.
