Peony Parade is inspired by what is perhaps my favorite flowers – peonies – with their plump, overstuffed with petals, blossoms. Here in California peonies are difficult to grow but that doesn’t stop me from trying! The colors were undoubtedly influenced by upcoming Mother’s Day. “Peony Parade” also is an artwork using my newest technique, begun with Kisses and Autumn Butterfly, which enables me to layer colors more richly. I wanted this artwork to be feminine and for each peony to have its own character. Peony Parade was created in 2016. Available in Limited Edition prints and more, available at Create.bz.
