| Pink Peony |
The two small paintings described here are only 4 inches square, but with this much bright pink, they hold their own.
The peony season in this area is no more than three weeks long, so as soon as I see signs they ready to burst, I start thinking
peony painting. The approach was to lay in the warm and dark inner portion of the bloom in a single mass, then with a wide brush, apply petal by petal in single strokes. Two chubby buds sit behind the big blossom. The background is light and fuzzy, making the flowers look dark and vivid.

| Pink Blossoms in Mason Jars |
The second painting is a colorful floral of two clear mason jars with pink blooms. The bright pink and its complement, bright turquoise, vibrate against each other in this loose and juicy square. I love this one, mostly because it is not tight or precise, my usual tendency - see peony painting...haha.
