I fell in love with a vase of peonies in a lovely welcoming AirBnB on the island of Texel in the Netherlands. They were in bud when we arrived and opened up on the first morning to a glorious display. I chose one to concentrate on and the vector art work took around six months, off and on, due to my frequent ill health. This and another variant are, I think, a result of what Wordsworth called 'emotion recollected in tranquility'. I heard of the death of an old family friend during that holiday and while the first pictures were more strictly representational the later variants were more touched by grief, anger, and the transience of life. 'Emotion recollected in tranquility' to quote William Wordsworth.
