Peony flowers are my all time favorite flowers to work with, they evoke such a classic look, to me they say Victorian age. Something about their full petals. We have several peonies planted on our property and recently moved and divided several plants. They are some of the longest lasting flowering shrubs or plants that you can purchase but they don't like to be moved or divided so we might have to wait a couple of years before these ones come back to their full splendor. A couple years ago we visited a peony farm in Vermont where the owner admitted to a full on peony passion and the inability to control himself when it came to purchasing new and rare varieties. One plant on his farm cost him something like $4,000. While many of his offerings were common and sold for $20 to $50 some of the higher prices plants fetched upwards to $400 per cutting. Peonies - its a passion!

When thinking about a still-life, create a balance between elements. Ying and yang, light and dark, soft and hard - in this still life the main flower is offset by the discarded flowers creating triangles which move the viewer's eyes around the scene. The white of the flowers is contrasted by the dark background. The softness of the petals contrasted with the hard edge of the glass. "Remembrance" by Edward Fielding.

I love peonies. I photograph mine every year and can't wait. Still stuck in snow so may be later than usual. I like your casual composition - so well done and doesn't look contrived. Beautiful work.
