I really like how you used the red in the center of the peony and played it off the green leaf. The edges of your petals are fantastic too. Thank you for the beautiful and challenging reference.
It's beautiful, Sharon. I love the gray of the tabeltop, but mostly I love how wetly you painted it, how you let the paint diffuse; it has a very Romantic feel to it! And thanks for the reference photo--it's really lovely, and I can see myself doing it again!
I finally followed your link to the VIrtual Sketch Date site. Very cool! I think I'll try a couple of these. Your photo and your watercolor of the peony are both charming.

First of all many thanks for your excellent ref photo. Your painting really works, composition and colours are both successful.

Your dark background works beautifully and I especially love the luscious greens you chose for the leaves.
