Peonies in Bloom

Peonies in Bloom
Oil on panel, 10x8

Peonies bloom for such a short time, and these pink ones are almost done.  My white ones came first - and their sweet little heads were popped off by our new puppy the same day they opened!  The red peonies are the last to bloom - so they have not even started yet, and their location is more remote - so I'm hoping they will not draw the attention of our lab!  This has been a very full day of gardening - while the sun shines, some housework - reorganizing, taking the grandkids out for ice cream and the park, and finally home to finish this and post. So, I am posting a little late, but it feels good to have gotten so much done today!  Painting number 524 in 524 days :)
