A striking botanical study that combines realism with a carefully controlled, almost graphic use of light and shadow. The subject is simple—white peonies—but the execution makes it dramatic and elegant. Signed in pen lower right.

A horizontal spray of blooming white peonies stretches across the canvas from left to right. The blossoms form a gentle arc, creating a natural rhythm while the surrounding foliage fills the background without overwhelming the flowers.

Deborah Rubin is one of the foremost floral watercolor painters in the country. Born in Chicago in 1948, Rubin holds a BFA from the University of Illinois. Her flowers have formed the base of over 50 exhibitions, garnered nearly 20 awards and have found their way into dozens of permanent collections. Deborah’s paintings combine a spectacular large scale with brilliant light and meticulous detail. She has been pushing the boundaries of photo-realism and hyper-realism since the mid 1970s with an eye on nature and more recently, architecture. She currently lives in western Massachusetts.
