Snow-covered peonies

Oil painting "Snow-covered Peonies" by Olga Chernova size 60x80cm Close-up flowers, from large blooms to buds of an unusual cold shade with a warm core. From white to turquoise in the shadows, the very contrasting lighting creates a dynamic of light and shadow. White peonies painted in oil are a perfect gift for decorating your interior. Flowers and women are inseparable concepts... In China and Japan, white symbolizes purity and solemnity. Breeders have worked hard to create peony flowers that are close to white in color. However, the center of the flower may have pink or red specks, and the petals may have a yellowish tint. The peony has a large, white-and-cream head with tightly packed, slightly curled petals. The sturdy stems bend under the weight of the flowers, which resemble large marshmallows.
