"Peony and Rose"

"Peony and Rose," oil, 10"h x 8"w, copyright Jill Banks 2013

Peonies and roses are out in full bloom in the garden. (It's gorgeous out there!) I set this up for my still life class this past Tuesday and painted on it a bit as a mini-demo. 

My studio is filled with pieces needing attention.  Yikes.
