It's really nice to be able to go to class with a good teacher right in the neighborhood. All the other students travel a good way to get here; I'm very lucky.
This subject is an Iris. I'm reminded of my mother's irises; she mostly had the standard purple ones and white ones, but she also had some yellow ones. Then in the early 80's, I bought her some bulbs that flower peach and pink and other soft colors. My sister has some at her house from divisions of Mamas, and I plan to go dig some up later this month. I plant to put them along the fenceline to the west in my back yard. I hate edging and am hoping that this will cut down on the need for it.
Colors started with olive green and ultramarine violet. The background was first washed with acrylic tan.
