Sable iris by Jacki Stokes

I love the colours you have used here, a lovely piece of work. I also think they are a beautiful flower to paint, I just wish they would stay out a little longer.

Thanks Sue for your very welcome encouragement. Irises don't last very long do they (especially this year), but there are always other beautiful flowers which carry on from them. . I've also got a soft spot for pansies, lilies, daffies etc. (Although I do find it hard to do lilies justice!) Happy painting. Kind Regards Jacki

This is great - I really really struggle with iris ! Wish I could paint one like this !
