Dear Everyone:

This pond with the wild iris is

located in Peggy's Cove.

I had set my heart on doing

an iris painting from the

iris photoreference.

I am pleased with the result.

Enjoy.

Dear Everyone:

Ever since I snapped some photos

of lavender irises in a private garden

I had wanted to paint them.

Here is my iris painting and my

photo reference.

I wanted to play with different

purples in the painting and think

I achieved this.

Dear Everyone:

I spotted a lavender petal of an iris

while out one day. Rounding

the corner of a stone wall

I came across some lovely ruffled

iris plants in a private garden.

Hope that you enjoy

these images.

Liked these close-ups. Found the bright blue

to be charming.

Hope that you enjoy these images.

Have a charm-everyone-around-you

kind of day.

Sheila's irises

Sheila's irises may 2009

This is one of my floral bouqet series.

I saw a photograph of black irises in a book by my mother

compiling some of her photographs and wanted to incorporate

the irises into one of my folk art paintings. The blue vase in the

painting was inspired by a stilll life by Van Gogh.

I had alot of fun selecting the colours for this picture.

I think the pink background is unexpected.

I hope that you enjoy this image.

Have a finding-inspiration kind of day.

Helen.
