 This year I have no time to spare. I am painting peonies with an aggressiveness I have not had before. I thought approaching them with softness was the way to go but it turns out not to be true. The shapes and textures of these beautiful and sturdy plants requires a directness and now I see how to break down what was complex into simpler forms.  This one was painted for all the hero fathers. My Tom was one of them. He was the best "Mom " a father could ever be.

Liking these aggressive Peonies (that sounds improbable), OK ... Liking these aggressively painted Peonies, Jo! Are you using some big flat brushes as opposed to rounds? 6/24/2016 01:09:26 pm
I use flat brushes most of the time. I have better control of my edges with them. I should use the round brush more than I do. I need to remember to grab it from time to time. There is so much to keep in mind once you are under way. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
