Peony Time

Peony Epiphany, a watercolor I did a few years back.  (Now under glass which explains the reflections in the photo.)


Yet another of my favorite flowers is the peony, always so luscious and effulgent--a word my mother liked and one that I feel totally describes what I mean.  But as full and gorgeous as they are, they can be delicate creatures.  We get a lot of rain in June--their month--which sends their blossoms into an instant droop.  So we are well advised to simply and totally enjoy them for the day or two or three when they've opened their beautiful little faces and the rain stays away.

And ... White Peony on Foil (in oils)
