“white peonies”, oil on canvas board, h:30 cm w: 20 cm
… painting one painting each day isn’t as easy! Especially if you have a full time job and other hobbies, too. But well, it’s not only a matter of time, there is also another difficulty (which Gillian reminded me of after my last post) I haven’t found a solution to by now: oil paintings take quite a few days to dry to the touch. And then they still take a couple of months to be dry enough to be varnished. Well, I do have only three easels and very limited space in my room. Meaning that I’ll have to confine myself to three painting each week. That should be manageable. Anyway, here’s painting no. 5.

I admire all artists who do a painting a day! Even three a week is a lot!
Your white peonies is truly beautiful, Sylvia, set against that lovely rich background and the glass vase is lovely tranlucent, making your painting warm and rich, yet still delicate and light. Love it!

Gorgeous! Your approach to the glass is so fresh.
This is just lovely, Silvia!
Oops! In spite of the long drying time, your work is wonderful Those peonies really sing. Keep it up. x
