Day 1 - I set up the flowers in the day in the studio with a mix of natural and artificial light:

| Pink peonies (1) - 10"x10" oil on board Available for sale here |
I set up a grey background as I thought it would go nicely with the pink of the flowers. This happened to be my husband's golf jumper which had the perfect grey I was looking for. He probably won't be super pleased to find out I used it in a studio full of paints... But maybe he won't read my blog? Let's see!

I think in this series of paintings, I enjoyed painting the vase as much as the flowers. The subtle reflections on the glass were so satisfactory to paint.

I wanted to capture a bit of the garden in the background and light coming from behind the vase to make it lighter.

Day 3 - Set up in the studio in the evening with artificial light only, which explains the warmer feel about it:

| The set up. No golf jumper in sight this time. Didn't want to push my luck... |

I really enjoyed painting these, and will do it again with an other bunch as soon as I get the chance.
