Iris painting.

In these challenging times it helps to do something creative to keep yourself occupied. I began the Iris painting last year and then for some reason which I can't remember set it aside. Now was the time to finish it. I really enjoyed painting this flower. It is a lot larger than anything I have tackled before but a large brush helped. The peachy pink colours were difficult to make but overall I was pleased with the results. It has spurred me on to paint another large painting. The photos have a blue caste not sure why. I struggle getting good photos of my paintings.

Original hand painted watercolour cards

Hi, I have been painting this week and have really enjoyed myself. I had the idea of painting some cards in watercolour. The SAA sell cards with mounts so the card when framed also becomes a gift. Great idea. I have painted four cards and am pleased with the results. It 's great to feel that spring is on the way and the spring flowers are blooming. I have painted three Iris cards and a card of snowdrops. More ideas on the way.
