The name of this painting; "Peony Puzzle" came about because when I had it sketched out on the watercolor paper, it looked like it would be a real puzzle to paint.....and it was! I wanted a real challenge, and I got it with this one. I hope you enjoy it! Peonies do grow quite well in Alaska, in spite of our crazy cold weather! We just pray for lots of snow cover and no 'freeze/thaw" times during the mid-winter "schnooks" when the weather can warm up to the high 40's, rain and melt all the snow. Plants start thinking spring is here. In reality, the next week it could get -20 degrees!
