The Color Challenge colors for today are: Real Red, Cucumber Crush, Sahara Sand.
Dessert = picnic. Unless you are picnicking in a garden, mine probably doesn't apply.
Find working with complementary colors of the same intensity a real challenge. Using an aqua brush and reinkers, I was able to get more values of the red and green.....which made it easier.

I will never tire of seeing your watercoloring, Sallie! How beautiful this is! Love your framing always in a neutral color which makes your gorgeous painting pop even more!

This is very gorgeous Sallie!! I love how clean your card is and how beautifully realistic the peonies are. They should be one of my next perennials blooming. We are having a very wet and cool spring.

Your flower's color doesn't appear to have been a real challenge for you, Sallie! You tackled it perfectly! I like the way you have added the sand around the image creating darker and lighter places.
