A stunning contemporary acrylic painting of a pink peony bud created plein-air in my garden. Like Giverny for Monet, it is my favorite place to paint. This paint was featured in an Exhibition of Botanical Illustrations presented at Gray Gallery, Quincy University in 2020. Flowing, modern, and vibrant, this framed work measures 19.625 inches wide and 25.625 inches tall. The depth of the silver and black frame is 1 inch.. The painting was created in acrylic paint on paper . The painting is signed on the lower right. The label from Quincy University is on the back of the frame. The frame is wood and the glazing is acrylic. The paintings in this series make a striking grouping of 2, 3 or more!
