What is texture? Identify this painting and explain how the artist has used texture to create this piece.

Texture is the feel or the consistency of a surface or substance.

Explanation:

The texture in this painting is almost rough and matte. This texture adds a rustic feel to the painting. It allows the artist to move its viewers through a state of confusion and hardship that gives the watcher a better outlook on life. To me this looks like lots of things but the texture gives that spice that some artist lack.

very interesting question. i'm a guy, so my vote hardly matters, but blue according to my wife is a purple with more blue than red.

the "brown"   is not mauve. that's the tough one. it has more brown the mauve in it. you almost need a color wheel to tell or a paint sample book. her gloves are a deeper purple.

i would also qualify this by saying you need say how good your monitor is. i'm working with a lap top so i couldn't swear by anything i've written is accurate. i had 3 women offer an opinion. they were not in agreement and they were not certain.

for posting. i'm more of a math type so i'm staying out of this but it was lots of fun.
