This year, the iris at the Extention Center here in our area did not bloom much at all - pretty lax effort due to heat, drought, whatever. So only a few worth taking photos of and painting.
This one gave me fits so this is actually the second version - first version was awful due to bad drawing to start it.
Beautiful velvety softness that you have captured. The weather does seem to be playing silly wossits with our growing seasons this year. Some things seem very badly affected and yet a few things not at all. Mostly things are late to get going here. Best wishes for a creative and restful week.

ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteHad the same problem with irises here.All in all a weird year, with everything blooming early and usually dependable plants not doing well
