Three full peony blooms in dusty rose, mauve, and pale pink arc diagonally across the field, anchored by lush green leaves and small budding sprigs. The composition is realistic and softly shaded, with petals built up in graduated tones. Apparent long-and-short shading combined with flat satin fill on the leaves.

Stitch Technique: Needle-Painting (Long-and-Short)
