Glorious Pink Peony

My dear friend gave me a marvelous present for helping do some arranging in her home....a glorious pink peony from her garden. No running around before painting class last week, since I knew that it would be the most beautiful subject. Here's my watercolor painting  for Painting Party Friday. I will also post it to Pink Saturday.  The flower was wonderfully large and such a glorious pink, I took way too many photos but just had to share one with you. There's a picture of my kitchen table where I blog everyday with the pretty peony to look at.
Till next time enjoy nature's beauty.
Always, gerri

    Gerri
    Oh My Word!!! You captured the beauty of the flower to perfection.
    Well I joined Paint Party Friday for the first time today - my nerves are still jangling as this was a huge step for me to show this side of myself.
    I might see you over at Pink Saturday if I can find a pink piece of artwork!!!
    Wishes

    What a sweet gift, and then a wonderful painting! I love that it's a larger size as well. How lovely to sit in your beautiful room and blog--I think the window scape would be such a distraction for me. But I just love the setting you have there--also got me wondering what's in your teacup. ha ha =)

    Beautiful! Aren't peonies just the most gorgous flowers? You only need one to light up a whole room. Love the way you did the table linen, too!
