Pink peonies commission

Season Greetings pink peonies, illustration by Michael Steele, 2021

Detail of Seasons Greetings pink peonies

My friend Camilla Belich recently got in touch to see if I could create a floral illustration for her. I’d created an artwork for her in June this year, on the ‘Bread and Roses’ Strike, and was delighted to be given a second commission. The brief was a floral illustration that could be used for her end-of-year greeting card. Peonies have such an impressive beauty and are currently in season, so I decided to create a contemporary Seasons Greetings illustration with three large pink flowers surrounded by vibrant green leaves and stems. Fine golden yellow brushstrokes and dots in the centre of each flower for the stamen and pollen.

I love working on commissions, if you are interested in an illustration or artwork please get in touch.
