Once again, I was inspired by the June challenge MAGICAL DRAGONFLY AND BUBBLES at JEAN HAINES online art class. The peonies at my garden are this year like wonderful great pompons in white, rose, and apricot. Sadly their season is over, but the last ones I have cut for a bouquet and paint them. During building up the composition the idea of some bubbles and dragonflies appears and I've finished it yesterday as a Midsummer Night's Dream.

 Because we have a lot of rivers in the region around us and several birdbaths in our garden, dragonflies are often seen amongst us. Some are very tiny and royal blue, some really as big as my hand. This first attempt to the motive is a result of my Art Class at Jean Haines Art School online. I have struggled with the dark tones and this is really a little bit too dark, but nevertheless I love it and will do more with this color scheme.
