Peonies in the Studio

Series: Interior Florals

A floral exploration of intimate textures.

The story behind the piece

Painted from life over three afternoons as the blooms opened and faded.

The gouache allowed sharp edges where I wanted structure, and soft lifts where the petals dissolved into shadow.
