Irises


I'm so happy that it's May!


I love when the garden begins to bloom,


especially the irises!


I can remember loving irises as a little girl.

They are lovely to grow and tricky to paint!


I painted this one last year for my very dear friend!

  1. Wow, that is gorgeous! I remember being astounded when my garden club gave a lesson on irises. I had no idea how many types and shades there were. They are an elegant flower. Lovely painting! You are so talented.
