Peonies on Stripes is about warmth arriving early — before the season is ready to change.
Loose, expressive peonies push forward against a striped field of yellow and soft reds, their petals painted with energy rather than precision. The background drips and vertical bands aren’t decorative so much as atmospheric, suggesting light, heat,
and movement behind the bouquet.
 
The vase anchors the composition, but the painting resists stillness. Color spills, edges soften, and the flowers feel alive — caught somewhere between structure and freedom.
 
It’s a painting meant to warm a room: optimistic, painterly, and unapologetically alive on the wall.
