I like your watercolor version of the peony...you really captured the soft pastels of this most beautiful flower. It almost looks like my photograph called Pink Peony...take a look when you get a chance. Nice work!

Hi Mary Ellen - This is gorgeous - I Love little close up vignettes like this - wonderful composition and variations in your colors - I see it's a detail - but works so very well by itself! Thanks too as always for your comment -

One of the better ones here. Nice contrast and goo negative painting in the upper leaf. The green inside (next to the bud) is a little "St Patrrick's day though. Do you use a yellow and Payne's gray for greens? They look natural. Phil

One of the best. It has contrast, and I like the negative painting on the upper leaf. Phil

I love the way that you came in close up on your subject so that you can really give us a feel for the bud. It is a lovely composition as well as detail work.

This little blossom is flawless. You've captured the texture and light of the first unfurling petal and the still tightly packed bud. Its like the essence of spring created in pigment, water and paper.
