You painted my dream painting. It even has the weight of the peony ..the life of the peony and the emotional range of the peony. Linda...Hats off to you woman.
This is what I have always wanted and still strive to do. I can feel the weight and the heft of the flower. the saturated color is an inspiration to me. I must buy that book you are working from . The cool palette fascinates me...I will look back in my email and find the book...amazon must have it. I hope...Your hard work and study is showing.
Hi Jo! Yes Amazon does have the book and if not I know that Alibris does also! Thank you so much for your kind words. I think your peonies are fabulous...you were the inspiration for me. One of your peony paintings shows up on the "peony" when you google it!:)
Linda I want to buy this peony from you......Can I do it through paypal? Oh and I ordered a copy of the book...it was strange because it varied from 85 dollars to nine dollars. How can that possibly be. It must have to do with when it was printed. Both are hard cover. I want to experiment with those cool tones.
I also noticed that the books vary in prices and by quite a bit usually. I don't really know why they vary so much! I hope that you enjoy the book. I added a paypal button if you are interested in this painting. I am glad you mentioned it because I am going to start adding buttons.
6"X 6" Oil Ampersand Gessobord $125.00 I'm ready to chill out after this one. It was really HARD! So many petals going all different ways. I am pleased with the results. I have to laugh at myself....I thought of showing a step by step process in the painting of this peony....but....never looks like anything until the last few strokes! I am happy with this painting however I got here. This painting is found here :

I enjoyed seeing your brush strokes and the fact that this takes up the whole 6 inches. Really impressive.
