Dancing Silhouettes

23x35 watercolor on Yupo, medium weight synthetic paper. These irises were drawn from studio garden plants and there was one lone dark yellow and brown one so it was included as the center of interest. Background was left white so the bulbs would stand out more. Definitely Spring!!! Finally we had almost 1/2 inch of rain yesterday which will help the plants.

I love these, Kay. When the image first opened up, I couldn't see your title, and my first thought was that they looked like they were dancing. :-)
