| "Peony Bowl" 10"x 8" Oil on wrapped canvas |
I have two bushes of pale pink peonies tucked in close to the south side of my house. They thrive in that protected environment, and I revel in their early blooms. By the time spring comes to the suburbs of Chicago I'm not only grateful for their robust blossoms, but their fragrant surge of spice.
This small painting is a study for a larger piece. I addressed some of the problems of its reflections, values, buds/no buds, cool light, warm shadows, etc. I know what I want to do now. I hope to begin the large piece in two weeks, at which time I'll post the progression from photo to drawing, through finished piece. Goals. I love goals.
Thank you for visiting,
Carol
