daily painting practice- last peony

Ok, since I did the painting that showed you my peony garden you might have thought that was the end of them. Not quite, but I think this is the last peony painting until this year's blooms come in. Peonies make a great painting in almost anything you stick them in. Here I put them in an antique milk bottle.

I am finding I like to use a mixture of linseed oil and Liquin as a medium when I paint flowers. It helps with the loose brush work and the transparency of the darks. Enjoy!
