Description
Peonies, Impressionism, Tones of Flowers and Light, oil on canvas, 50 × 70 cm
Peonies are heavy flowers: full, beautiful for only a short time, and their petals fall quickly. This painting captures the peonies in an evocative light, not as a botanical illustration. The brushstrokes allow the petals to breathe and let shadows fall between the stems. The viewer is meant to sense the scent, the weight of the bouquet, and that fleeting abundance that can be preserved only through color.
