watercolor "for you"

 

 I think I fell in love with purple when we were expecting our middle child - at the time my husband had to ask me not to buy anything else that was purple!  Well, that was 31 years ago . . . it must not have just been hormones, because I'm currently redecorating my studio in shades of purple . . . this simple layout allows the gorgeous peony to be the star of the show!
