One of the gifts that the previous owners of our house left for us is a bed of peony plants which I have subsequently added to over the years. Peonies' array of colors and their beautiful petals as they open up have inspired artists throughout centuries to reproduce their beauty in a painting. I usually produce at least one floral painting each year, either of peonies by themselves or in a floral arrangement with lilacs.
The peonies in this painting were of flowers cut from my garden. I started the painting using the flowers in the vase but used a photograph of them to help me finish up the painting a few days later.
