cozy, shattered and blue

I've been absent from all my usual online sites for the last week due to gardening.

My studio garden is starting to look good but today is a rainy, cozy day so I am spending it in the Studio. I hope tomorrow will be dry for the planned plein air group here.

A week ago I posted the bouquet of Jay's Auntie Laura's red peonies that I hope to paint soon. I mentioned that they shatter quickly after being cut. Yep. Shattered.

Today I was able to get back to my Percy Wiseman bouquet to work on the blue background. You will notice that the bouquet is long gone but I have enough reference photos to finish.
