Peony In Paradise

Oil on canvas.

36x48x1"

My cousin who lives on Georgian Bay is an accomplished gardener. She grows the most fragrant and beautiful flowers. She had arranged her Peony in a cut glass pitcher. The combination of the light interacting with the Peony and the light on the cut glass captured my imagination. Glass and flowers share a lot of the same attributes when light shines through or on them which I find interesting and challenging.
