Peony oil painting demo
It would be a good idea if I could paint ahead of the season. So I would be thinking about creating holiday art in the middle of the summer so I would have everything ready by Christmas. But I can't quite get there...because it's peony season right now, and how can I even think about painting anything other than the inspiration that is all around me? Because that's what my art practice does for me, it helps me be in the moment, not 6 months ahead of myself. So here is a peony, a flower that is blooming on my mantle at this very moment. I hope you enjoy seeing my painting come to life!
