Peonies

acrylic on wood
26 x 20

I was comissioned to do a painting of peonies.  This painting is on wood panels, 26 x 20.

It will be hung in a baby's room, I'm told.  Doesn't that sound pretty?  A baby's room decorated with the soft pink colors of peonies.

Lovely, lovely peonies.  Such a beautiful flower.  I found this poem about peonies I thought I'd share.

The Peony Bush

'Twas the peony bush

there in my garden

That made you turn around

and smile at me.

Not the zinnias or gardenias

with their fragrant perfume,

Forget-me-nots in fancy pots

or orchids in a-bloom;

But the peony bush

there in my garden,

It did the trick

As quick as one-two-three.

Please decorate

my garden gate forever

And never will there be any bush

But the peony bush for me.
