Irises #1

Irises #1/ oil on canvas board/ 10 x 8/

The irises in my garden are on the last few days for this year. They have been beautiful and until just the past couple of days the weather has been wonderful to photograph them. I am working on supercargo watercolors and experimenting with more impressionistic oils.
Here is the first of this series in oil.
The darks are rich transparent colors including quinacridone rose, magenta and dioxazine purple.

Here is the latest one to bloom. Beautiful!!
