Another watercolor ~~ Peonies

Our peonies were blooming last week so I clipped a few. They were very droopy from the rain so I propped them up with some branchlets from our Japanese maple. Painting flowers with lots of little petals is always daunting! I always like the containers better than the flowers!

Peonies (with Maple Leaf Props). Watercolor on Paper. 9″ x 12″.
The setup which I painted painted from life. The sun was in a different position during the painting session.
