Painting Iris on a Beautiful Saturday

Best Day of 2015
(so far)

After being so cold and gray,
we finally have a beautiful day.

And guess what we painted.

Purple Iris.
If that doesn't make you think spring,
almost nothing will.

I made a very short video for you to see them working on their paintings.


They got their background in by using various shades of blue, yellow and several shades of a blue green. 

Then they practiced on freezer paper how to paint iris.

They all got it and took a deep breath and put in the three iris and three buds.

Then after some yellow centers and a few more stems, 
they were ready for their close up.
You can tell it's sunny out in the picture.  

Didn't they do a great job?

Very proud of these ladies.  

Thanks for stopping by today.
Leave a comment to let them know how they did.
