While letting the dog out for her morning constitution I noticed my dear wife’s flower garden was home to about fifteen new iris blooms. There were a number of buds about to pop open as well.
Last year I got a sketch of the seed pods…this year the flowers and hey, maybe seed pods again.
Tomorrow I’ll tackle one of the blooms. All I had time for today was a quick sketch of a bud with a pencil. Then I painted over it with watercolor.
This is a new sketchbook I’m starting so I guess the theme will have to be nature stuff.
We’ll see how long I can stay on the subject before I go off on some other tangent.

Very nice!
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a budding iris myself, but I think you’ve caught the colors awfully well!
Hi Brian,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I would guess you are a few weeks away from seeing any up there. I’m surprised they bloomed here. We had record breaking heat in March and record breaking cold in April. It has the plants, birds and rabbits pretty confused
Hang in there…it won’t be long for you.
Ours are just now starting to bloom. There are some just outside my office window.
I really like this painting. So simple and so beautiful. Very nice.
Thanks Jennifer.
Enjoy them while they last…
