From Carols Garden (step 1)

Just started this painting. I am painting from a photo my dear friend Carol took and she was kind enough to let me use. The peonies were from her garden. She showed me the picture and I loved how the light was bouncing around the flowers. I changed the background to a window ledge (I like the feeling of flowers in front of the window with light dancing around. i want to try to get the other two flowers covered with the first coat.
I told Carol I would name it Carols Peonies, but i want to think of another name as I have named several like that--ie Janies' flowers etc... sooo I am naming it "From Carols Garden" (I like that!)
Today is Memorial Day and it is a beautiful day, God Bless and happy painting.
