"Tranquility," 18" x 24"

Oil on Canvas.

“Tranquility” is a lush, exploration of greens and pinks and shows how wonderfully they can intertwine with one another. Peonies bloom in May and June and that is a time of year when all the grasses are at their best, the shrubs are blooming and nature has fully awakened. It’s a thrilling time for us and for nature. Green is such a wonderful colour to explore in so many varying shades of leaves but also for the background. The abundance of greenery works with the blooms in a balance. The composition is balanced in a harmony with the greenery and the flowers. The leaves direct and energize the display while the blooms show off their various life cycles. The pinks are glorious and beautiful. There seems to be a peony in every stage available to view. Peonies are distinctly attractive in their entirety from start to finish. 

“Tranquility” is a serene yet energizing painting full of colour.
