White Irises

Blue Irises

Oil on Canvas (12”x36”) Sold. My new home in Florida came with two large, framed images; not to my liking.  So I painted these two canvases of irises.  It was an interesting challenge to fill the large elongated format.

Pink Day Lily

Watercolor on Aquabord (8″x8″) this is my favorite of the 3 Aquabord paintings.  The Aquabord provides a vibrancy that is difficult to achieve on paper.

Orange Day Lily

Watercolor on Aquabord (8″x8″) Here is the second try on Aquabord.  The Aquabord ground requires slightly different techniques, but also permits color to be lifted back to white.

Yellow Day Lily

Watercolor on Aquabord (8″x8″) While traveling last month I picked up 3 Aquabord panels to give another try.  This image and the second try are not my favorites, but it is a very interesting ground, somewhat different than watercolor paper.
