Iris Series No.13 by Mary Beth Brath
10x8" Acrylic on Canvas
I painted this one earlier this year and knew I needed to come back to it. Tonight I added the emerging bloom on the left.
Pastel on RTX Pastelboard.
I began this Iris watercolor plein air from Annette Braught’s garden. There are also some accents of watercolor pencil.
I was enamored of the Iris bud’s tightly furled purple petals exposing delicate greens and lavenders of the still-developing flower. It is framed in an antique gold color with a gold-lipped oyster mat measuring 12x9 inches.
The painting’s approximate dimension is 8x5 inches.
It can be presently seen on exhibit at The 2nd Floor Gallery in Mechanicsburg, PA.
