oil on textured board

My friend gave me  cutting from her iris but was'nt sure what color it was. I was completely thrilled when this beautiful purple iris appeared in my garden. I just had to paint them and this is the second painting, the first was a watercolor.

Heavens to Betsy. What a fun saying. I was explaining it to my 10-year-old while I was painting this flower. Enjoy!

"A Painting A Day

This tulip is a challenge from "Paint and Draw Together".
If you check the site, the photo on the left was what
we had to work with. All entries are in the center, just
scroll down. It is always interesting to see other artists
interpretations.

On my blog on 4/24 I had an interesting discussion
on "To Title or Not to Title"... you may enjoy it

Introduction to watercolors by Debra Tritt Kreiger

This is the second painting I completed in preparation to teach an introduction to watercolors. My reference for this beautiful southern magnolia comes from many trips to South Carolina and Georgia. My idea is to give a three hour playful journey into the different techniques and concepts of the watercolor world. The workshop will be held at Brath & Hughes Gallery, 41 W. Main Street, Mechanicsburg from 1-4pm on Saturday April 21. Space is limited so call the gallery for details! 691-1333

I actually painted this "plein air" which
I rarely do.  Linda was working in the
garden so I sat out and painted.

"Calla Lilies" Colored Pencil by Charlotte Yealey

7x14
Colored Pencil
Here is my latest colored pencil drawing. I am so tired of snow and the warm weather makes me think of all the flowers that will appear so looking through my flower photos from last year, I drew my calla lilies. Look for this drawing on cards and other things in my Zazzle and Cafe press store.
