Peonies II

Modern impressionism painting from Life. Influences include Van Gogh, Max Meldrum and Peter Smales. The painting is under glass and has a light brown matt and gold frame. I have been inspired to paint Peonies by the works of Dennis Perrin in the USA. My approach is to be 'painterly'. Brushwork is evident and its tonality is a result of many years painting. Simplicity is not easily attained.
The artwork would lift a formal area/study.
