"Peony Buds" 14"x11" Oil


Karen Phipps and I are participating in the Cedarburg Plein Air Competition and Exhibition. Wish us luck that we don't melt in the heat.
I tried to paint fast to catch these in bud form. I really liked the way the white peonies glowed against the dark background and wanted to recreated this in paint.

Well you got the glow with the white ones Susan! The light on the vase is great too.

In my book, you can do no wrong with peonies! Beautiful sense of form with these.
