Bearded Iris

My challenge

 

The most challenging aspect of my study of painting is understanding and controlling color relationships, particularly those involving value and color temperature.

This is definitely a work in progress.
My version of a bearded painted iris..from beginning to end.

 

I have discovered that I do NOT do my best work when I am tired.

This was day 1

This was day 2

 

Again, a pure delight to see it come to life.
