I am like you and hate to cut these huge blooms. I was so glad I did as it would not have survived the heavy downpour anyway. I actually painted this from life so I had to work diligently so it would not perish before I was able to finish. All seemed to be a race in time with this peony! :D Hi Donna,

One of my future projects is to compile a little coffee table book of my works and writings. I am glad you think that is a good idea. Thank goodness I didn't have to wait a whole year to paint a peony from life! That last smaller bloom came at just the right time :D Cheryl I was so touched by your generous and kind comments!

I feel like I could lean into your painting and smell the freshness of that peony in it's vase. You are incredibly talented. You mentioned to me about considering self publishing a book....I think you should take your own advice and compile a book of your paintings with the beautiful writing that your create to complement it. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent!
