Glimpses of Spring on a Wintery Day

Usually in January and February, I have had enough of winter, this winter being the exception due to there being no snow and temperatures being warmer than seasonal (however, as I post this, it is snowing to beat the band outside....finally). But during the January/February winter blahs, I go to the photographs I took in the summer for inspiration.
My neighbour and I have a few Peony bushes and I had photographed them when they were in bloom. I love the shape and delicate nature and colour of Peonies and have always wanted to paint them. I think the flower lends itself to watercolour as a medium which is light and transparent.
