Every spring during peony season, I would walk through my favorite shop in the flower district in New York City and see colors I never expected. They had the usual white, soft pink, and magenta that are always lovely but quite common; and they also had more alluring varieties in deep crimson, almost-black burgundy, and coppery apricot. I could lose hours just standing there, going bucket to bucket, taking it in, and having the hardest time deciding which ones I wanted to take home with me.
This pair is an ode to peonies, showcasing all of those colors together. Rich magenta and burgundy move through both pieces in loose, liquidy layers, with warm gold breaking through like that coppery apricot catching light. One piece opens into a bloom in the upper corner, petals loosening as if caught mid-opening. The other pulls the same colors into deep, horizontal bands, dark plum drips cutting down through the layers as pale white breaks through beneath them.
This pair was painted in two different styles, but with the same palette and energy, creating interest that surpasses each piece as individuals.
**Please note that the colors in these pieces shift and change depending on the light of the room they live in, as well as the reflective quality of the metallic and pearlescent pigments. Photography captures one moment in one light - in your home, these pieces will reveal themselves differently throughout the day.
