My grandmother kept a bit of color inside her purse. She was a teacher for most of her life, but her passion was painting. I found a few paintings before but here are some more.
This book jacket inspired her.
In the side pocket of her purse I found newspaper clippings. It's a bundle of inspiration.
She practiced drawing a chrysanthemum peony on the back of a church flyer.

This is so precious! Love her painting.
I really like this post.
aww ladies, thanks!
OMG! so beautiful!

That's a peony flower - not a chrysanthemum.
Thanks Eve for the correction. That makes sense because she always liked peonies, and I am horrible with identifying flowers.
;) No probs. As a Baba Nyonya descendant, I am thought my flowers. One of my grandmother's favourite pastimes was sewing beaded shoes which utilises a lot of floral patterns. :D
