Piviones (Peonies)

Piviones is painted in a rich impasto with the most brilliant of colors, handled like a mosaic, with the colors dragged to produce a richly textured surface. The wall is a symphony of lavender with rich blues, mauves and citron tones worked into it. The emphasis is on the ornamentation of the canvas itself, with voluptuous, richly colored flowers, in swirls of color and expressive power.
