Irises Blooming

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!

Purple Iris

Love the purple. This would make a great photo to work from when painting.

Siberian Iris

 This Siberian Iris came from my parent's yard, making it all the more special.

Yellow Iris

I love the being able to see the center and the vein lines in this photo.

Clearance Pansies

Clearance Pansies

Two weeks ago I picked up a container of frostbitten pansies for $1 at Lowes. The flowers had been pinched off leaving just the leaves.  Pansies can handle the frost and will reflower.  I was curious what color they would be.                                                  What a treat when they bloomed – take a look:

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