Original artwork description:

The peony is my favorite summer flower and I paint them as much as I can while they bloom. It is a challenge to paint them from life as the flower changes right in front of my eyes. A challenge that I immensely enjoy.

This large painting was painted from life in my garden on a summer evening. I set up a bunch of peonies under natural light, where my focus was to bring out the layered structure of these flowers. So I went with a rather simplified and muted background that would highlight the flowers and the subtle pinks in them.

The painting features rich and bold brushwork, expressively painted with artist quality oil paints.

Materials used:

Gesso, oil paints, varnish
