They always strive for aligned patterns and are beaten by the “elements” into a disheveled state. Much as we are. This one is 12 × 16 watercolor mounted on a cradle and sealed with cold wax. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6186911093914b34dce1ee65/1786028855791-H7B1RJ8F6MUX091S23XT/image-asset.jpeg Floral Gallery - Rosy Bottom I tend to work in threes with an idea. Often the idea has an idea. If I am really lucky I am satisfied with two. This watercolor is 16 × 20, mounted on a cradle and sealed with cold wax. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6186911093914b34dce1ee65/1761513889304-J3X90M2TOLE8DJZDMPAY/poppy.jpg Floral Gallery - Wild Poppy Wild poppies land in the most random unfriendly places where they are beaten up for the short day they survive. This sweet girl is watercolor on 12ish x 16ish handmade paper and sealed with cold wax. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6186911093914b34dce1ee65/1757688032117-12133HBOQH1PA6Q6LOXA/Stones%2527Throw%2BI.jpg Floral Gallery - Stones Standing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6186911093914b34dce1ee65/1786027425801-1OZNXHVGSA95A7083TQ9/image-asset.jpeg Floral Gallery - Reaching Always reaching to represent the way a leaf, a flower, feels and makes me feel.

I actually painted five but two don’t look so great. As one expects this watercolor is only 8 × 8. The edges are clumsily wrapped in gold leaf. That part is deliberately clumsy. The paper is mounted on a cradle and sealed under cold wax. They will indeed be shown in the TEENY TINY TRIFECTA in Charlottesville, VA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6186911093914b34dce1ee65/1714343065157-YTP8OTQSE4TBQ52YARXR/IMG_7375.jpg Floral Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6186911093914b34dce1ee65/1786030307378-GEL2LOFZ5FQP6Z5I40QX/image-asset.jpeg Floral Gallery - A Tangle One of three that I had hoped would land in the Teeny Tiny Trifecta.

It is always in the back of my mind. This painting is 12ish x 16ish watercolor mounted on a cradle and sealed under cold wax. Maybe this painting should have been in the “Floral Gallery” . But maybe not. https://peggyduvall.com/about daily 0.75 2026-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6186911093914b34dce1ee65/e14223f4-0d28-4bb9-9e5f-2da736da5f6b/Peggy+Duvall+-+October+Head+Shot About - Peggy Duvall Peggy paints what it feels like to garden…what it feels like to hike a trail. She is a lifelong painter living in the Virginia countryside near enough to Washington DC to get an occasional “city fix”. Her architectural design background together with a deep connection to the rural Virginia landscape and all things floral have had an outsize contribution to who she is as an artist. She appreciates watercolor and it’s unpredictable nature. Paint and paper are her partners as they interact, gently guiding her work in an organic way. She prefers to use thick cotton papers and natural pigments which significantly influence both her process and the outcome of her paintings. Her paintings represents a constant give and take between nature and intellect. They exploit flaws and inconsistencies aspiring to beauty and control. Her work has been shown regionally at The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, Long Branch House & Farm galleries, AIM gallery in Middleburg, Dwell Fine Art & Craft, Melissa Ichiuji Gallery, Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville, VA and Art & Fiber Gallery in Blacksburg, VA. Her work is in homes across Virginia and the USA. https://peggyduvall.com/new-page daily 0.75 2025-12-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6186911093914b34dce1ee65/1765261105378-164M1OO2QTIS57WDD5XY/article%2BDecember%2BSubstack2025.png News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6186911093914b34dce1ee65/1761517045917-JJ8VFED814SWJZMC7LK0/sun+%281%29.jpg News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6186911093914b34dce1ee65/1765261158250-A129DZZITSZH7JXXN28S/FINAL%2BPOSTER%2B%25283%2529.jpg News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6186911093914b34dce1ee65/1761517479524-BYA2RVA0TS2L6WA7D5VY/Stones.jpg News https://peggyduvall.com/news-copy daily 0.75 2025-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6186911093914b34dce1ee65/f184dc6b-c203-4552-aab0-94c3da5b172f/Women+of+the+DMV+2025 News (Copy) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
