I thought I would show another work in progress. I'm working from a cropped photo that I had taken a few years ago on one of my vacation trips to Vancouver Island. My Husband and I were walking through a garden in a park when we spotted a group of Blue Irises. They are among my favorite flowers. Their rich blue color and small dabs of yellow centers on some of the petals make a striking contrast. As you can see by my pallet, its full of color because I tend to do a lot of mixing to get a larger array of tones for this painting. I want to keep the tonal variations softer, so that it will look more natural and have a calming effect to the viewer.
