Hi there! It's day 2 in 30:

I have an 8" x 8" oil painting to share featuring pink peonies:

I'm working on loosening up my brushstrokes and not trying to kill the flower with too many highlights:

I'm linking my painting to this week's Paint Party Friday site:

Thanks so much for looking!
Be Sweet :)
