Bob Scenes from the Southwest This peony spoke to me

This peony spoke to me and I knew immediately that I had to paint it

I’ve always loved the cool tones of this and the way the shadows play on the petals and the ground

why wouldn’t I paint it

progress and growth has done away with the garden but I take comfort in the knowledge that it lives on in my painting

Truly one of the first signs of spring

Occasionally I will spy one hanging out in my yard always a treat recently I had a stare down with one of them out my kitchen window while he sat on my wall peeking in.
