More Peonies

Here is the mate to the other peony painting.  Thanks to my friend Trisha Adams this one has already gone down to Chasen Galleries in Richmond.  The mate that I previously posted was on a 12 x 16 piece of canvas, because I didn't have a 12 x 12, so now I must attach it to the birch board I bought at Home Depot.

Peonies from South America

My good friend Tricia called and informed me that she picked up 5 bunches of peonies at Whole Foods.  I wait each May and December for them to bloom!  Once in our hemisphere and then again in December from South America.   Whole Foods is the only place I know that sells peonies off season other than a florist.  They are usually very expensive, but reasonable at WF.  Anyway, I painted two paintings to be companions.  They look terrible in the photographs, which means I may need to completely rework them.  Here's one of the paintings--way too hot.
