Hello again, I know I post very frequently but I paint so much. It gets a bit scary in my studio sometimes with sooo many paintings but I just keep going. I have too because I LOVE it and I want so badly to be really good at it one day. This one was painted from a set up. I bought these wonderful silk peonies and found this sweet brass pot at the thrift store. The little feet on the pot is what sold me on it, aren't they cute? I based in the peonies with a general color and then painted the whole background with dark colors, I went in then and added darks and light to the peonies and created the pot right into the very dark background. This is oil on a 8 x 10 stretched canvas and framed in a gold crackled frame from Dick Blick.

Lovely one, Barbara, I just cannot do Peonies myself. Thanks for the hint on where to buy those awesome frames you use. :)
Thank you so much Carol, you are sweet to visit so often. You need to try peonies again, I kept them pretty simple and impressionistic trying not to get too caught up in all that detail.
Barbara, this is just awesome! Yes I love the little feet on the pot, and the flowers look so graceful and delicate. Another winner!
I know what you mean about painting alot.... I pick up a brush every chance i get. Nice that it id set up in the dining room til warmer weather gets here.
Lovely Barb.
