Red Peonies #2,still life,oil on canvas,6x6,price$200

Today I painted these peonies with Cad Red deep,alizarin crimson. Cad orange and rose permanent in the light,and Ultra Marine Blue in the shadow. I think yesterday's color was closer to the true flower color. Today I saw the ultramarine so clearly in the shadow. I made an image of the two next to each other on my blog.
