"Peony" 6x6

Oil On Hardboard 6"x 6" SOLD

Though the peony is a complicated subject to paint  my issue with this flower was  the color. I don't know what my problem is but I find pink a very difficult color to paint.  Pretty much on the same scale of difficulty as yellow. Both pink and yellow are a real challenge for me.  I keep thinking if I just keep trying to use these colors one day they will make sense to me.  I would love to hear from anyone that has conquered these colors.

This painting will be available for sale at the Laguna Festival Of Art this summer.
