Another attempt at painting peonies. It’s June, peonies are in season. I took about 50 pictures of these flowers, some of a bouquet from Whole Foods and some at the NY Botanical Gardens. I had one picture enlarged that I liked with the intention of drawing and painting it, but quickly swapped out some of the blooms for better ones. ….every painting is like a puzzle. Trying to figure out what is going to work and how to make something I like given a set of set of parameters. Parameters like, size, palette, content, what I can do with my current skills.
