15x22 watercolor on Lanaquarelle 140 lb hot press paper from one of my iris photos begun last Wednesday. This is painted wet on dry with multiple glazes. I decided not to include the green background of leaves and other plants as seen in the photo. The white of the paper is enough to showcase their beauty from the elegant apricot bloom on the right to the orange and purple others.

Beautiful! I love all the hard-edged shapes--of the stems and buds--against the featheriness of petals.
The creamy color you achieve on the open flower is wonderful--I can never mix such subtle light colors
Many thanks Laura for your comments!
