Lilacs and Peonies


Lilacs and Peonies
Originally uploaded by randubnick.

Today I received this bouquet of lilacs and peonies as an early Mother's Day gift. Lilacs remind me of the house where I grew up in Pueblo, Colorado, and peonies remind me of our house in Lawrence, Kansas. The arrangement is beautiful and I took some pictures with my new phonecam. When I loaded the images into my computer, I noticed that in the photo I liked best there was some background clutter in one corner. So I opened the image in Painter IX and neated it up with a little cutting, pasting, and digital pastel.
