White peonies (2021) Картина - Yulia Zhdanovich (MiliArt)

I am proud of my friendship with a wonderful florist, in whose workshop I once met such an unusual minimalist bouquet, composed of externally Ballerina peonies and gray-green eucalyptus leaves.
Terry spherical buds were painted yellow-white (a smooth transition from the color of yellow pastels to milky white with a barely beige tint), and the splendor of the buds created the visual effect of huge, but at the same time, airy lungs, balls. Do you know one of the many legends about peonies? There was a physician named Pean in Greece. His teacher was Asclepius, the god of medicine. One day, Pean found the root of a plant whose milk juice relieved the pain of childbirth. Women in labor in droves began to go to the doctor for help. Asclepius was jealous of his popularity and decided to kill him. To save the healer, Zeus turned him into a beautiful peony. Something like this happens among the Greeks.
When composing the bouquet, the florist removed her own peony leaves and used young eucalyptus leaves as a substrate and background, which, depending on the light of the room, can take on different shades. Either they look like bluish coins, then in a more mature state and the appropriate selection of a partner flower, the color scheme will fly off into purple with silvery shades. At the same time, the surface of the leaves is dull to the touch, as if covered with wax.
When writing the work, I used: brushes №№ 2-5; texture paste; palette knife with an oval blade.
