I agree with Bonnie and Mary Ann. All are beautiful, and that one is stellar.

It’s okay to not know all the answers.

I loke wetwork.It takes patience for the drying part but well worth the wait for interesting blends.

Check You-tub to see about videos. If you are already acquainted with Watercolor it should be informative.

Let me check.
This is a pretty good demo.

I dont always wet the entire paper. I use a brush to paint a "watershape" of the flower I am painting.Then I drop paint onto it.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

OK -- finally took a picture of my Iris Art. This beautiful plate was a gift from a soul-sister here on ATP.

The artist who created this beauty is Lena Liu -- a noted Limited Edition artist of mostly signed and numbered prints. Almost all of her work is floral, with Irises being her favorite topic. And no wonder -- she does them so well.

Enlarge to see the details -- including gold highlights!

That is a gorgeous work of art, Mary Ann. And what a lovely item for you to remember your soul-mate with.

Absolutely stunning plate Mary Ann.. Love the foxgloves with the iris.

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

Beautiful plat. I planted a Fox Glove in my historic bed last year, I'm hoping it get tall enough and blooms with the irises.

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Grandchildren are my greatest joy.

Art can vary......here are some artistic floral designs with iris......

Iris is Rustler

Iris is Hot Fudge

.....a tribute to Zebra Gardens. Unfortunately I didn't have any white iris this day so subbed lilies.
