"First Bloom", 12"x12", oil on panel
I love spring for many reasons- not the least of which is the first bloom of peonies. Today is Mother's Day in the U.S., and wherever you are, I hope that you're feeling some extra love today!

"Abundance", 16x20"
I bought a small bunch of peonies from a farm stand last week, brought them home and put them in water. The next morning, they had exploded into the most beautiful blooms you could imagine. I couldn't let another minute go by without painting them, so I whisked them up to my studio and put them under lights. They remained glorious for days while I labored away, trying to capture their beauty without overdoing the details.
After scraping my painting away three times, this is the iteration I was most happy with. I hope you like it too.
