Picture "Foxglove and peonies" (2012)
This watercolor was painted plein air in my own garden when the peonies were in bloom in June. Every year I am fascinated anew by the powerful red tones of the peonies. Their compact growth forms an interesting contrast to the long, slender inflorescences of the purple foxglove. A garden path is indicated in the middle of the picture. My brushstroke is expressive and loose. I have captured the summer light impressionistically. The watercolor lies between a 60x80 cm white passe-partout with a bevel cut and a sturdy cardboard backing. My signature is on the front.
