Who doesn’t love peonies? Big, blousy and truly beautiful. But there’s more…I love the meaning of flowers-the colours, the symbolism-as well as the scents and impact. Peonies have lots of meanings-good luck, wealth, honour, compassion… all so positive. 

Vivacious is about the joy peonies bring with them. The star of the show, they don’t need any other flowers to help them along-they say everything. They’re strong, flouncy and yet so, so delicate and fragile.

I know I’ll be exploring them further… I just can’t resist! 

If you haven’t read my blog post explaining why I’m pulled back to paint florals over and over, do take a quick read. 

Vivacious is on show at The Square Club during August until 31st October 2023
