Pink Peonies

Pink Peonies

Oil, Plein Air, 6x6"

Painted from life in my garden today. 

These beautiful pink peonies come and go so quickly. 

Almost like a time-lapse, they were opening as I painted! 

Just as I was finishing the painting and ready to add my signature, there was a huge crash out on the street in front of my home (I live on a cul-de-sac). An SUV had run into a parked car and pushed it up into the neighbor's lawn! Turns out the 73-year old driver turned the corner and blacked out. He and his wife were quite shaken-up. Paramedics and police came. Thankfully no one was hurt but the driver was taken to the hospital for observation. Both cars had to be towed. Such excitement!
