Two Iris Germanicas

It's a beauty Michael

Super work Michael, you are very versatile.

yes this is a different direction Michael but it really works well it's good to get out of the comfort zone however more please from your posterior position like this one

I agree with above Michael, love the palette too

This is so good Michael, love your washes. I can't paint sat down.....mind you, it doesn't get much better when I stand up either. lol

Really lovely and delicate Michael.

Skilfully controlled and beautifully painted Michael. The blending is so very well done.

Thanks all for your encouraging words which are much appreciated - shall be doing a few more of these - for the hell of it !!

Oh, Michael, what a lovely surprise! You have got a well hidden talent there. This is so beautiful, simple and effective. I love it!!

Fab Michael. One of my favourite subjects.

Thanks Satu and Sylvia. You'd think, being a gardener I'd be more into painting flowers than I am

This is super Michael - knew it was going to be good after seeing your first few strokes.

Superb and with a very contemporary look.

I like the variations in tone and coppery greens in the foliage.

Thanks Frank, Marjorie and Caroline

Yes, I thought 'eh?'. Michael, flowers? Gorgeous!!

This is beautiful, Michael. Superb colours used, especially in the tips of the foliage. Love it!
