Peonies




Peonies, oil on canvas, 11"x14", $95.

I needed a break from the car painting yesterday so I went out to my garden and picked a few peonies, one of my favorite flowers. I love the month of May because all of my favorite flowers bloom then, peonies, lilacs and lily of the valley. I also pulled out a big pear painting that I never finished. I always try to have 4 to 5 paintings in the works all at different stages. That way if you get tired or stuck on one painting you can move on to the next one. I like options.

What I'm working on today: This morning I'm putting a little more paint on the pears and then I'm headed downtown to the gallery to meet a student for a private lesson. I will also resume putting the finishing touches on the car painting.
