“This morning the green fists of the peonies are getting ready
to break my heart
as the sun rises,
as the sun strokes them with his old, buttery fingers
and they open—
pools of lace,
white and pink—
and all day the black ants climb over them"
— from Peonies by Mary Oliver
This still life captures the momentary glory of a peony in full bloom, brought inside to enjoy its short life more fully.

*What does this mean? Each piece available here has been carefully hand-crafted by me, KimZed. But in a world of AI, it is very important for me to recognize and give credit to the artists I learn from.
A time-honored tradition in art is for students to emulate the works of other artists as a way of deepening their abilities. I gratefully follow this practice, learning from artists who inspire me. A pieced signed as “after [other artist]” indicates that this piece was based on the work of another artist, to whom I give credit for the original concept.
