'Iris in the Garden'
Oil 8 x 6
76/100
Day 76
March Showers, April Showers, May Showers...
Enough already! I have NEVER seen things so green and
plush in the garden, but because of all of the rain, the blooms
that do appear are only there for a short period of time
before the rain destroys them. The iris are especially
affected because of their delicate petals. I am so
glad that I got some photographs on a (somewhat)
sunny day so that I could paint them for my challenge.
Hoping for some consecutive sunny days so I can
get my garden planted, and also plant those flats of lovely
flowers sitting on my back porch just waiting to bloom
in the flower beds!

Love the soft capture. Every time I say I will take pictures in my garden-It rains!
Lovely painting. Congrats on continuing your 100 paintings Claire!
I need to see more of these beautiful floral paintings. With all this rain, they are nectar for the soul. The iris heads again the dark background is great.
Iris--one of my favorite floweres--Wonderful contrast between the flower coloring and the soft background.
It's certainly been a trying year for our spring flowers...and for me....your painting is as delicate as the Iris petals themselves...wonderful!
I was so happy to see this! I missed my Iris's in bloom when I was away so to see this painting was great!Beautiful!
I was just out today painting my irises and happy that the rain did not totally obliterate them. You have some wonderful color blooms here and I love your soft brushwork.
Gorgeous! And I love the delicate feel of the painting.
Thanks, everyone!
