Girl time and more peonies
June 27, 2007
My parents are in town for a quick visit. My mom and I spent yesterday doing girlie things with Jane and Kate. Swim team practice (ok, not entirely girlie, but very important), out for lunch, some shopping, pedicures all around, more shopping and dinner at my brother's house. All that fun is exhausting!
I woke yesterday morning to find random petals on the kitchen table. I am afraid that these are the last of the peonies. So sad! I really will miss them.
Speaking of peonies, remember this photo? Well, just take a look at this. Pretty dang cool, if you ask me. It makes me want to paint.
Back tomorrow with some good mail.....lucky me.
Oooo... the painting and the photo are fantastic. I love good girl time!

Oh wow! I'm taking an acrylics class in the fall. I can only dream of creating something as wonderful as that.

Sounds like a perfect day Erin. That's a lovely painting of your peonies. I so wish I could paint!

I love girly days :) how much fun. Can't wait till my little one is old enough to do these kinds of things.
The painting is wonderful!

Do you know the artist, or did she just come across your photo and use it as her inspiration? I'm intrigued by this development...

Woah, how cool is that! Peonies are new to me, I don't think they grow down here.

Lovely peonies...I miss girlie days with my mom & sister, living far away from them as I do, so it makes it all the sweeter when we do get together. Enjoy your family time! :o)

oh my gosh that is so awesome and what an honour to have someone love your photo so much they transformed it into a painting... way cool!

Oh peonies. No sympathy though, considering that they can't grow here and there is _no_ season. Just joking. I've done some sketches of your flickr peony photo with plans of making a print. There's life drawing and then there's screen drawing, pathetic really. I'll let you know what comes about.

Oh...I will miss them too. I love that painting. Very cool. Sounds like you are having a great summer. xoxoxo
