Deep Pink – Iris Painting

This is the third floral painting I’ve completed recently.  I think I should start a few more… 

This is another painting that was inspired from the Minnesota Arboretum.  I loved touring the grounds there.

In the evening during our last visit (last spring), there was a group of plein aire oil painters setting up to work.  Some of them had half of the gardens painted  on their canvases by the time I was leaving the grounds.  It would have been quite an experience to have joined them. :D

    SO pretty! The back lighting on this one is so perfect. You did a great job. I had to do a floral recently too…..just to remind myself that spring IS coming, as we are part of what they are calling "the big dig out" here in the DC area!
