Beginning Peony Painting




HI, well, yesterday late in the day, I finished my "Sunflowers and Gran's Watering Pot". This watercolor will be in my show at The Red Queen Gallery. Gertraude Fendler,a wonderful photographer and I will be the 2 woman show on 2nd Friday in June. The Red Queen is on Main St. in Onancock,Va. It's a lovely gallery.

So today I started my peony painting. I've started negative painting around a light pink one and it will have 2 burgundy peonies with a hummingbird.The painting is still developing.It might have another peony? I was sitting on the back porch painting today.Daisy and Rudy-our 15 year old kitty-were with me. The hummingbirds were zooming in and out.

We've had some rain which we desperately needed and more is expected tonight.I'm trying to get ready for the show on Sunday at the Ashby Garden in Belle Haven. This will be from 2pm-5pm and they still want artists to call and come display their work! take care and talk to you soon, Diana

  1. The peonies and sunflowers look lovely, Diana. Thanks for the info about the Red Queen June Gallery show. We went to the May show last weekend. Also glad to read your post and know it rained back home as we are in NC this week.

  2. OK, I am pretty sure this one will be my new favorite! Such pretty colors already and flowing....
    You have inspired me, I think I will skip my morning chores and go paint instead...(don't tell!)

  3. Love the sunflowers, and esp. in awe of how you tie them in w/the background! (I planted some seeds and--so far--the squirrels have not found them, as they usually do!)
    I have 3 peony bushes, and hope I get more than 1 flower this year--I covet them, but find them so hard to paint!
