Kia gave us a most delightful inspriation challenge today. I chose this picture. https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/16395986123739407/
My favorite way to relax is to paint loosely with my round brush. One of favorite flower is the peony which is starting to bud. Added some fillers and the stencil background. Great way to start my Saturday morning. Thanks Kia for the terrific challenge.

Absolutely gorgeous, Linda! I knew right away which picture you had chosen for inspiration; I was drawn to all the photos of peonies on the board and made a peony inspired card as well. Your painting is so beautiful and I love that this is a relaxing activity for you; all water coloring does to me is make me stress out! I love the green stenciling you've added to this, as well.

Phenomenal painting! The design, the watercolors, and the stenciling are all fabulous. The shading is spot on. Linda, this is beyond beautiful...

Just gorgeous, Linda. Your loose watercoloring is fabulous. I love how you did the corners.
