Fragile Strength
Peonies (pastel painting: 9×12) have always captivated me—their delicate petals and shifting colors feel both fragile and alive. In this painting, I softened the green leaves to draw your full attention to the flowers themselves—their gentle curves, subtle shades, and quiet elegance.
What truly inspired me was the humble tin can holding these blooms. Its rough, ordinary surface contrasts with the softness of the petals, revealing a deeper truth: beauty often arises from the unexpected, the overlooked, the everyday.
This painting invites you to see the extraordinary within the ordinary—to celebrate resilience, grace, and hidden potential. It’s a reminder that beauty is not just in perfection, but in the story beneath it.
Bring this piece into your collection to honor those moments of quiet strength and timeless elegance. Let it be a daily inspiration that even the simplest things can hold profound beauty.
