A Peony in Oils (and a Peek Inside My Studio)🎨


Hello Fellow Artists!

🌸 I’ve got some good stuff for you today! My oil painting of the peony below taught me more than I expected—and I’m excited to share it with you!

I created two ways you can step inside the studio with me:

• A peony infographic (with a downloadable reference photo)
​• A video tutorial where I share my four key takeaways, along with some of the tools and surfaces I’ve been experimenting with.

👉 You’ll also see the part of the painting as it comes together—especially in those soft petal details that make peonies so rewarding to paint.

I’ve made the free peony infographic available for you here:​

This is a new direction for me, and I’m really enjoying where it’s going.
I’m glad you’re here to see it unfold!

Thank you for being here, fellow artist. It truly means a lot. 🙏

Cheers and happy painting!
Molly 🌻

P.S. This peony is part of my newer oil painting work—if you're ever interested in collecting one of my originals, feel free to visit my website or reply and let me know-I’m happy to share what’s available.

Something has been quietly growing in my studio these past few weeks. 🖌️ It’s sitting right next to my watercolor palette… but slowly taking over...it's oil paints!

He even took us out into the parking lot to paint the back...
