Description
A tree peony in full bloom. Impressionism; expressive brushstrokes. Pink and carmine against a fresh green background. Oil on canvas, 30 × 40 cm
When a peony decides to be a queen. Broad brushstrokes capture the tree peony at the height of its bloom: rich pink and carmine against the green, the petals seeming to open right before our eyes. Paeonia suffruticosa is the Latin name for the tree peony, a flower with a memory—not just a fleeting bouquet. The viewer is meant to feel the luxury, tenderness, and strength that all fit within this small format.
