Peony Pleasures

Peonies are one of my favourite flowers.  I love all kinds of flowers but peonies are bold yet delicate and they draw you in to their petals, folds and folds of gorgeous petals.  They look beautiful when they are freshly cut standing in a vase of water.  You can transport that vase of freshly cut flowers anywhere you like throughout the day - place them on your desk or on your coffee table or kitchen counter.  Bring them with you into your bathroom while you soak in the tub...enjoying these beautiful creations from Mother Nature.  Breathe their colours in -- the intense fuschias, the candy pinks, the pale champagne whites.  They are simply beautiful.  

I was inspired to create this painting after having a disagreement  between my husband and I.   This painting represented the anger, the hurt, the sadness and the forgiveness that came out onto the canvas.  Love is a powerful emotion but forgiveness is even bigger and very freeing. 

Here is the Peonies painting!  It is acrylic on canvas and is done on a 38 x 40 inch canvas.
