I see Susan above me...it gives a blessing to the piece, and to my presence here... I originally was going to do the lavender version, but I chose the peach because peach, to me, has always been a difficult hue: I love the hue, but find it very difficult to work with. (I've known other artists far better than I who felt the same. But there are others who don't, so it's not universal.) It has always felt 'transitional' to me, vivid but 'in-between', like the hues at sunrise or sunset. A teacher once said that many of the most extraordinary hues in nature are the most transient---sunrise/sunset, flowers (which last the least time of anything on the plant), fruits (transient parts of the tree), and so on. Peach feels like one of those, to me. Exquisite, rich and transient. And the power of bathing a work in that hue---and this work is---is that a transient hue becomes eternal-ized; and we feel bathed in something rare. Now...(hope words serve me): On the lower half of the plant, next to the first big rose, you have a broad violet section---violet hues---which whooshes up the plant like a waterfall. It looks like a rush-of-the-heart made visible. It's exquisite. You often verge on abstraction in your nature paintings, and this is a prime example. Except "abstraction" is a weak term: It's more like an essence, inside nature. Then, the leaves above and below that are of these unnameable blue-greens---you don't duplicate them in the other versions: They, too, feel like transitional hues made permanent by your painting. And then, wonderful sheen-like surfaces. The top flowers emerge out of this rare world, and they nearly emulate flame---especially on the left side. On the right side, your petals have a life in them as if they're quivering. With life or anticipation. And your background is aflame, flames made of your hues, of peaches, rust-peaches, red-peaches, etc. And you have smoke coming up from the left-most flower. My god. A bouquet of spirit and flame. And on the bottom, a swirl of deep reds and greens and more high-key colors, all swirling around like a spirit-soup. (There's a splotch of dark crimson down there---left, bottom---that's like a climactic passage in Beethoven.) Stunning and pulsing, a painting of flower-spirit, and quite beautiful. Your work in this area is also filled with amazing brushwork: very oil-like yet very digital, where the brush strands are lines of energy, and the lines themselves emulate wood grain. A sensual masterful piece, Carol.
