A richly textured oil painting of a single open peony rising high in a tall composition. Thick, visible brushstrokes build the petals in layered passages of rose and cream, set against a muted green and umber ground. The expressive impasto gives the bloom a tactile, almost sculpted presence, while the restrained backdrop lets the flower's soft colour and structure take centre stage. A warm, elegant piece suited to intimate walls, quiet corners, and rooms that favour painterly character.
