This botanical collection started during summer when it was too hot to paint in the studio and I was busy sketching in the shade.  Keeping the style very loose it has created a more playful style. It has been a lot of fun painting this collection.  Lottie has the most incredible garden and this was inspired by her amazing peonies.

 

Framed in a mould called St.Ives, the frame has been painted in a pale pink to match the background of the painting.
