Aren't these irises beautiful?!! They are blooming in my yard this week. I wanted to capture the colors and a close up of each for future paintings. Enjoy!
Love the purple. This would make a great photo to work from when painting.
This Siberian Iris came from my parent's yard, making it all the more special.
I love the being able to see the center and the vein lines in this photo.

I've taken lots of photos and am sketching these wonderful beauties for later paintings. Can't wait to paint them!
