August 2nd, 2014: Oil on Board, 6" x 6". Sweet peas are one of my favorite flowers, so after years of trying unsuccessfully to grow the annual kind I found some perennial sweet peas that can survive even the harsh winters here. Happily, they are growing and flowering quite well. Unhappily, they do not emit the sweet scent that makes me love the annual sweet peas so... therefore, pretty and hardy but not so sweet. I painted the flowers over about three times before settling for their current state. The bobbled (there is probably a more correct term for this) glass vase was a challenge and came out a bit wonky, but I like it anyways.
