Granny Squares with Peonies and Stripes

Beautiful locally grown Peony Roses placed in one of my 1930's Vintage Fowlers bottling jars.
So big full and frothy with such fleeting beauty, these had to be painted quickly, they only lasted a few days....
Underneath a granny square rug handmade with love and left over wool to create a brilliant swathe of clashing bright colour.
Crisp and cool candy stripe sheets from childhood days tumble down behind.
This is a painting full of bright love and cherished childhoods.
