Iris a la prima

Watercolor

This yellow Iris work was created a la prima, out doors, in one sitting. I created many studies throughout the years of the Iris but this interpretation is the most poetic and lyrical version thus far. My watercolor paintings of the Iris has developed and matured at the same rate that I grow them year after year. Spring is a season for renewal. It is a time for living things to grow and blossom again. My spirit, my hopes and dreams are renewed with the Iris that return every spring.
