Apple Blossoms

'Tis not the season for apple blossoms, but their color appealed to me after finishing the succulent. I drew them from a photo I took in April over three years ago and imagined the warmth, the sunshine and the fragrance in the air from that day.

My peonies are blooming! Full, fragrant and flamboyant are these hussies!  Here is a closeup of one of mine from last year. I love her roundness, her full-bodied lusciousness. 

I have wanted to paint this one for a while, but all those center petals scared me.  I made as much sense out of them as possible.  It looks a lot like what I remember.  

Thank you for looking in on me today.
