"Asian Peonies" are so titled because the design being off-centered suggests an Asian look. The peonies again came from my garden and the round vase is from an arrangement of flowers that my daughter sent to me on Mother's Day. This is another in the series that begins with a totally wet paper with color dropped in and left to dry. After it dried, I studied it for quite a while to determine the placement of the vases as there was only one vase in the original arrangement. I used lots of water and strong color contrast to make a splash with this painting. Watercolor is so much fun to use if I let it be. The fluid blending of color is what makes it incredibly soft and beautiful.
