PEONY SUNRISE

Peony Sunrise
16x20
I started this painting in 2011--i loved it when I started it and hated it when i finished it. I just now got in the mood of redoing what I did not like about this painting--which was the leaves and the background. So that is what i worked on. & here it is!
  This is available for sale.  (16x20)  $650 + S&H
A little background story: The summer of 2011 we had lots of rain. I found these peonies laying on the ground! I picked them and plopped them in the old bowl and pitcher that I have had FOREVER. Anyway I was struck by how the lights & shadows were falling on the whole set-up. I was also struck by the flowers falling in such a pleasing position all by themselves! (I always get a warm feeling of help from above when that happens) Thank you Lord.
