Blush

Blush is an 6 x 8" original oil painting of a pair of pink peonies, painted up close and intentionally soft — as if the flower is almost too beautiful to see clearly. The heavily textured brushwork gives the bloom a lush, tactile quality, and the cool blue interior background makes the warm pinks and mauves of the petals practically vibrate off the canvas. This is not a painting that asks you to stand back and admire it. It pulls you in. A bold, intimate piece that makes a statement without saying a word. Painted on canvas panel.
