Bearded Iris

15x11 watercolor on Saunders 140 lb cold press paper completed today after working on it several days.  This pure white iris with its purple frilly edges shines bright in my artist's garden surrounded by warm colors of violet, magenta, orange, red, and gamboge.  Its fiery red orange center seems to be burning hot in summer's sunshine.
