Peonies

These peonies started on a box canvas, I spent  much of yesterday trying to make it work. In shear frustration I changed to oil paper and within two hours I painted this. I don't know what it is about the texture of oil paper but I love it.

 A dear friend told me about an artist that sticks paintings done on paper onto a box canvas. I think that's such a great idea, especially if you paint the edges of the canvas in a contrasting colour or in black, which will frame it beautifully. Once this is dry I'm going to try that and post the result.
