They didn't cost a fortune then as they do in Washington, DC, where you may pay 4 or 5 dollars for a blossom.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://merisi.blogspot.com/2006/05/peonies-at-caf-una.html" REL="nofollow">Here</A> a picture of a peony I found at one of my favorite cafes in Vienna.Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-1161270962181580022006-10-19T11:16:00.000-04:002006-10-19T11:16:00.000-04:00I just caught up on all the posts I've missed in t...I just caught up on all the posts I've missed in the past week or so. What a treat and inspiration to see and start my day with! I to will paint the same thing over and over until I like it. I enjoyed seeing the studio photos (and glad the messy one wasn't yours as I first feared til I read on). I wonder if bibliophilia is somehow related to painting...your book reading and collecting sounded all too familiar. It was also interesting to read your response to all the comments that make clear your focus. By now you're in Paris so I'm looking forward to seeing the beautiful results here. By the way, I've been painting with my Kremer watercolors a lot this week and have found a really enjoyable way to work with them and ink (on my blog Monday and Wednesday).Jana Bouchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18019523068496828367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-1161265915612839942006-10-19T09:51:00.000-04:002006-10-19T09:51:00.000-04:00Do you know, that is the most witty yet beautiful ...Do you know, that is the most witty yet beautiful piece of writing I have read in a long time.
