Flowers

The Painted Ladies art group recently went to a member's garden to do some plein air.  This is not my forte but I chose to paint some peonies.  Mine are not a replica but rather an abstract view. I'm taking an on-line class dealing with abstract art in journaling.  The leaves are in various mediums done in the abstract.  

The photo I took. ('m also working with an on-line i-Phone photography class.
