Paint Party Friday - Peony

I took this photo while walking in the neighbourhood, I thought it was a cute scene with the peonies pushing through. It's an art greeting card done with watercolour pencils (4 1/4"h x 5 1/2"w).

Linking to Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday.

this is really sweet and reminds me of the summer that appears to have forgotten to arrive in Scotland!

Christine said...

Farida, I think my painting is nicer than the photo, I've idealized it a bit, the actual fence had different coloured wood as it had undergone repair. I will keep the illusion of perfection here!
