Tonight's Watercolor Thursday

Hope

This went to my neighbor Karen who loves peonies. Today was her last day of treatment for immonotheraphy. She had one kidney removed.
So I had my husband ring our big bell out back. And rang hers next to her grill!

Cancer free!

Nice, the way the bud is positioned, shyly waiting its turn. And then the tiered wings of the leaves catch the eye, so exuberant. You are such an artist! Thanks for sharing this, and the story. Congratulations and best wishes to your friend.

The watercolor is gorgeous, and the bell ringing was a really GREAT thing to do for her. May she be happy and healthy from now on!!!

You are just truly a sweetheart in all that you do!
