Iris Collection - Spring Blooms

For the past few weeks I have been creating little panels here and there of iris's. I chose iris blooms because they're gauzy and attractive and come in many colours an varieties. Even though the flowers are similar they're not always alike. Not every painting turns out as well as the next but as a general rule, you do get better if you paint the same object over and over. 
The photos below, show in order which I painted first and last.

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened.  Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy   Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway.  Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger -  Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants
