Oil on panel, 6"x8"
I have a commission piece of Peonies to paint for a collector so I thought I would do a few studies before I paint a larger piece. This being the first, will be the smallest and I will work larger each time. I have painted them before but it has been a while and I need to familiarize myself with them again. I think it would be cost prohibitive to attempt to locate real Peonies if it is even possible at this time of year but I found some silk ones at a nearby craft store and set them near my easel to paint directly from "fake" life.

Wow, these are wonderful! Great job, David. My mom's favorite flowers were peonies of just this shade. Lovely...
Really like how the vase looks, too. I think it must be fairly hard to paint glass, or anything see through, for that matter!
