Peonies - Pastel

Peonies - Pastels
6x6, soft pastel

Day 7 of 30, this little vase of peonies was a practice piece completed while taking an online class with Desmond O'Hagan...a very talented artist indeed!   His style is distinctive utilizing bold and passionate strokes in a very painterly way.  I learned a lot...but still need practice to minimize the details!  It's hard to be painterly!

  1. Like both the oil and the pastels, but you have a certain color vibrancy with the pastels. Desmond is a wonderful pastelist and yes I agree with you it is like herding cats to get loose. This is beautiful work
