Oh, how I love peony season! I can't help but wonder if the blooming season of a flower is to remind us to be in the present, to enjoy the fleeting moments of today. Recording the joy of my day in paint, or with a sketch, truly fills my creative "well."

What brings you joy? Please feel free to share your joy moment(s) in the comments.

Thank you for being a part of this creative journey,

September 1 - definitely a day of fresh starts, new beginnings, a change of seasons. I had a great summer with my family, and I hope you did, too. I'm kicking off September by participating in artist Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. My personal theme is "Creative Joy." I'll be sharing paintings and journal pages - activities in my daily life that bring me creative joy. 

Painting peonies is definitely one of those things that brings me joy. I have always loved peonies, and then there is the fun part of moving paint around in colorful shapes! 

Thank you for being a part of this joy-filled journey,

Nancy

This summer I had the wonderful opportunity to plein-air paint at Ovans Peony Farm, located about 25 miles from my studio. It is so beautiful there! I had a great time painting (seriously, who wouldn't?!). Thank you, Michelle and Mike!   

Definitely a perk to my job - a blissful day of plein-air painting peonies!
