Pink Peony Framed

Last spring, October I think it was, I visited a peony farm in Monbulk, Victoria, close to where I live. The peonies were spectacular of course and I took many photos, one of which was the reference for this painting. The peony flower can be daunting to paint but this one is a simpler format and I found it most enjoyable to capture it's twists & turns, shades and colours. I hope this painting gives as much pleasure to those who view it.
Framed in a natural timber floating frame, sides of canvas are painted black for an even shadow-line within the frame.

Patricia has always loved all things in nature especially flowers and trees, however has only recently discovered a passionate and ever-increasing love of re-creating these beautiful things.
Patricia's artistic journey began relatively recently, after retirement allowed the freedom to pursue her dream of painting full time. Patricia's natural style of painting is probably 'realism’, the re-creation of minute details observed bringing great pleasure and satisfaction. However progressing in this wonderful world of art different interpretations emerge, exciting and tantalising the senses.
Love of colour and fascination with the effects of light on a subject amaze every day with each new idea, discovery and creation, stirring emotion, encouraging passion to inspire and share this pleasure with others.
The majority of Patricia's works are painted from her own photographic library or with permission from other like-minded photographers, however she welcomes commissions of the client's choice.
She would also be delighted to re-create a new and unique version any of the works in my portfolio, current listings or sold artwork.
