Quite beautiful! Wonderful colours.

Hi Avril, Thank you for your encouraging comments. I really like these colours too. They are the suffragette colours: Green, White and Violet standing for Give Women the Vote. I think they look great together, and quite often use them. Kind regards. Jacki

One of my favourite flowers to paint. I will never tire of painting irises. Some have transparent petals like stained glass windows and others have rich velvety petals, like this one. I generally paint wet into wet and am known for my vibrant use of paint. I just keep practicing those backgrounds, but I'm still aiming for a looser approach.
