Iris Garden Dance


"Iris Garden Dance"
18" x 24" oil on gallery-wrap canvas
Available 

I felt a real sense of accomplishment when I completed this painting this Saturday afternoon.  Hope you enjoy all my hard work !   Painting is such a pleasure to me that I actually don't feel like it is work at all.  
This painting turned out somewhat impressionistic compared to my other subject matter; but, that is okay with me.

Pretty Exciting !

Iris -WIP
18" x 24" Oil on gallery-wrap canvas

Well, this new work in progress is very exciting to me !   It is a new subject to tackle -always exciting- and also it is a larger size canvas than what I have been working on lately.   Below is my reference photograph I took in a suburb of Salt Lake City a few years ago.    Even older photos can get me excited to begin a new work !


It is obvious I changed things a bit in the arrangement of the Iris in my painting and things may change more as the painting progresses.   The painting so far is just a very rough lay-in of color and will be more defined as time goes on.    
I also worked on my flamingo painting today (Saturday) and it is coming along just fine.   Have to wait for it to dry to put more details in later.  Stay tuned !
