Pink Peonies

Hi Everyone!

Back to blogging! Pink Peonies are the subject of my latest canvas today.

My love of this flower, the Peony, goes back many years. My mother loved them and I always remember them in our garden. They were so big, fluffy and smelled so pretty!  So, I have wanted to paint a large canvas filled with them exploding over the frame! I started with stretching and priming my own canvas! While it has been a long time since stretching my own canvases, it was fun to do but also a lot more work than I remember! 

I painted the background pink and a bit of green for depth. I chose the larger flowers to start with and then painted bulbs and leaves tucked in and out, giving the composition of this painting a free form effect, as if in a natural garden setting. Some flowers facing up, out, and even sideways with their leaves and stems surrounding them. Some in full bloom, a couple of bulbs just starting out and  others just unfurling! 

Thank you for checking in with me today! I hope you love the Pink Peonies as much as I loved painting it!
