Peonies​

Oil on linen · 18" × 24"

​

This large-scale floral presents a lush grouping of peonies in full bloom, their layered petals unfolding in soft tones of blush, ivory, and pale rose against a dark, atmospheric ground. This painting was created over 38+ hours using a classical Flemish method, built in multiple stages over time, including carefully applied glazing layers to create optical depth, luminosity, and a refined surface finish.

​

Light moves gently across the sculptural forms of the flowers, revealing subtle transitions of color and texture within each petal. The contrast between the glowing blossoms and the restrained background lends the composition a sense of quiet drama and timeless elegance. Rooted in classical realism, this painting celebrates both the fleeting beauty of peonies at their peak and the enduring craftsmanship of historic European still-life.
