Pink Peonies (20-19)



This is a stand alone piece.
 I had this picture of these peonies for a long time intending to paint them and I finally buckled down and got to it. There were leaves in the photo but I felt it didn't need it. I just wanted to paint the voluminous blooms and keep them the star. I don't think the leaves would have detracted the attention but I guess that makes it worth being the boss. I get to make those decisions.

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened.  Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy   Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway.  Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger -  Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants
