Peony

Acrylic on stretched canvas on wood.

22x28x1"

I found myself in a blooming garden, the fragrance of peonies stopped me, I inhale the magical aroma .Their layers of pink seemed to hold a thousand whispered stories. I came home and painted the feeling of that beautiful moment. I use palette knife to manipulate colors and blend them together to create the full body of petals in a different shade of pink, lilac white and red. I think I achieve the lace effect and rich nature of Peony’s majestic flower.
