Peonies

For a few years now I made a plan to go to a peony nursery in the hills above San Jose, California, and for a few years now something has come up and plans have changed. This year was not an exception but I got some lovely buds from the local store to paint. And draw. And try all sorts of materials to capture them -  as peonies - from the shapes to fragrances and to colors and shadows that they create are one of my absolute favorites to try and capture. A peony tag on this blog will show you my peonies through the years.
