ENTRY LOCATION
Auckland
TITLE
Peonies
ARTIST
Lyndal Cruickshank
MEDIUM
Oil on Canvas
DIMENSIONS (IN CM)
100cm x 75cm
DESCRIPTION
Contemporary realism captured in oils on canvas in soft peach, grey, touches of muted pink and the depths of burgundy fading into black. I love the form of these flowers, simple yet complex and the colour changes within each petal - a true challenge to paint. Peonies have been my signature work with a painting currently in progress in my studio at the Queenstown Art Gallery which is 4 x this size.
