Oh, such beautiful velvety darks. They seem as soft as, well, an iris petal!

Elegant composition and colors. That purple and that cream together make my head spin.

I love all your flower paintings - you capture the essence, fragrance, texture of them.

Painter’s notes

“Provence, or our little corner of paradise as it's known to locals, is ablaze with color. After a week of warm and sunny weather (and a little bit of Mistral). The first Irises line the banks and the subject for my day's painting was obvious the moment we stepped out of the door for our morning walk.”
