Description
Peonies in Full Bloom. Impressionistic painting; expressive still life. Pink, white, and carmine. Oil on canvas, 100 × 100 cm
Large peonies fill the canvas. The petals overlap in shades of pink, white, and crimson; impasto brushstrokes give the petals an almost tactile quality. Light passes through the flower, not merely resting on it. Peonies 4 is about abundance and how quickly such beauty fades. The viewer is meant to sense the scent, the weight, and the freshness that do not get lost in the interior.
