Pretty in pink
A touch of pink on a rainy day
Heavy rains and winds battered the garden today. The pale pink peonies that had started to bloom this past week were taking the full force of the stormy weather, with many of the flower heads resting on the ground. I had no choice but to put on my raincoat and welly boots and go save some of the delicate flowers. The peonies looked very happy sat in a vase out of the rain!
The peony or paeony is a flowering plant in the genus Paeonia, the only genus in the family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, Europe and Western North America

Time for some drawing!
I spent the afternoon drying off from all that rain and drawing these ruffled blooms.
After drawing the peony using a dip pen and drawing ink I began to add gentle tints of colour using watercolours.

Beautiful artwork!
Thank you @ananuaremere
Beautiful!, the talent is with you! :D
And may the force be with you. Thank you @dreamrafa :D
Peonies are one of my favourite flowers. I wish they could last longer but a good hard rain and wind always destroy them. You are an amazing artist, if only I could draw more than stick people. Following so I can read more like this.
Oh but I like stick people @draoissey- I draw them too!
Wonderful piece of art, @opheliafu! I really think you are talented. Keep sharing your work on Steemit! I will be waiting to read your next posts ;)
@lazariko12, thank you very much for your kind support.
Peonies are my favorite blooms, I love your artwork!
Thank you @artedellavita. And welcome to Steemit!!
Love, love, LOVE this!!!! But, I'm a sucker for flowers & pink! :P
Worse things to be a sucker for than flowers and pink!
Looks just like the real thing. So pretty. My father used to grow peony's when I was little. I remember all of the beetles they would attract.
The ants love them too!
Peonies are so ethereal in modeling and colors. They have a fragility that roses to not. You captured their elegance!
That's very kind, thank you.
