PINK PEONY

I love greyed pinks. There are so many ways to grey a pink, but I love the combination of Quin Pink and Sepia. Partnered with soft greens....perfect.

Begonia Boots

7 x 10 inches, watercolor and gouache, 2009.

I'm not quite sure what I do to wellington boots to ruin them so quickly but I am now onto my third pair in two years. The question was what to do with the old pairs that were sitting in the porch looking very sorry for themselves. I decided to use them as plant pots and chose some trailing begonias to brighten them up.

SUNFLOWER

We are having a great crop of wild Sunflowers in Texas this summer. Great big stands of them! I'm always amazed at how they can still stand up when they get so tall and heavy!
