"Robyn's Peony"



My Granddaughter, Robyn mentioned a few weeks ago that she didn't have any of my paintings.  So, for her newly decorated bedroom I did this Peony and put in a large white frame. Her walls are a lovely lilac colour, a bit like lilac mixed with talcum powder, the white frame looks good against it ... and Robyn loved it! :)

      Thank you Sharon :)) ... when she mentioned she didn't have a painting of mine she was hinting at the painting I did of Gary's 'Lioness'. I put it in a matching frame. The Peony she has at the head of her bed and Gary's Lioness at the foot, it's where she can see it.

      Hi Kimberley ... thank you for your lovely comments! :) I love peonies also. I recently went to visit my niece, Jennie and she had a beauty, which had pink leaves on the outside with a white centre, gorgeous.

I'm afraid I have had to introduce word verification as I had 96 spammer posts when I returned from holiday. I hope after a short while I can try again with no word verification, I do hope you understand ... thank you Ingrid.
