Nothing better during a busy week at work, than painting every evening some strokes on this "calming down piece". Inspired again by a wonderful tutorial at Jean Haines online Art School. www.watercolourinspiration.com I couldn't resist adding some bees to the final version. Summer is so beautiful in the garden.

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.

This was very challenging and I'm not really satisfied with the result. But next white sheet of paper, next chance to become better. And I love blooming cherry blossoms and the sakura tradition.

I love these pink roses with a hint of apricot in my garden, not sure about their name but deeply in love with their attitude.
