The Soft side of the Peony and Birds

Hubby read that painting is “that wonderful state where nothing else exists but you and your ideas and the art flowing from your fingertips” (Luanne Rice, Last Kiss, Bantam Books, 2008, pg. 106). I would not say I have reached that stage yet but it's pretty close as I painted these two today.

In contrast to the usual bold colors evincing ebullience, I have elected to apply a somewhat subdued color tone that conveys a soothing impression.

What a lovely pair of birds! The colors chosen may be subdued but all the same they are vibrant and lively. Beautiful!
