Amber's Peonies

I could smell their pink peppermint scent all the time I was painting. They are quite an evocative flower with a kind of delicate flounce despite their large size. Peonies expect you to notice that they are not a rose and will roll their eyes and visibly shudder if you happen to make a mistake. Completed alla prima or in one painting session wet into wet in June 8 2020 and revisited May 5 2023.
