Today’s sketch of the day in my moleskine art journal is of a red peony flower. Paeoniaceae Paeonia.
Peonies are one of my favourite flowers and it is featured a lot in Chinese and Peranakan textiles and porcelain as a symbol of good fortune, happy marriage and fertility.
Flowers are like friends. They bring colour to your world.

I had to look it up. Plant names vary so much from one language to the other. C’est une pivoine.
Lovely flowers.
