Description
My new garden has brought a wealth of unique and beautiful plants. These peonies did not perform for three years, but the wait was so worth it. That luminous burgundy color (quinradicone rose) simply glowed. I tended to them and, knowing I'd only have a few days to paint them before they faded, paired them with this wonderful, spotted Italian vase. As the dots were rendered, I was reminded of red blood cells - they were so dimensional.
Most glorious of all, however, was the flowers. At the height of their glory, they reached to the sun on a lovely spring morning as I moved to not overdo them, but capture their life and brilliance using color, value and marks. Their spontaneity was a challenge, but well worth the wait.
This painting is gallery wrapped on archival canvas with a 3" border. It is wired and ready to hang.
