Peony Crush by Kay Shanley

There’s something about peonies that Kay simply can’t resist — their layers of soft petals, their romantic colours, and that sense of lush abundance they bring to a room. This painting is her ode to that obsession — a joyful expression of colour, texture, and movement.

She wanted to capture the moment just before the petals fully open, when the flower is at its most beautiful and alive. Painting peonies always feels like falling in love with them all over again — their charm never fades.

Peony Crush is part of Kay’s ongoing exploration of florals that celebrate beauty, joy, and the fleeting magic of nature in bloom.
