I made this portrait of my friend Myriam based on a picture. I used coloured pencils on Bristol paper.

Originally, she had a hat, but I switched it for some peony flowers. Myriam loves peony and told me that she couldn’t imagine a coziest place than the heart of a peony flower. Can’t you imagine napping there? Plus, when you know that the meaning of peonies is prosperity, good fortune and compassion, there really isn’t any reason not to love peonies.

You can find Myriam here!
