Monday April 20th, 2007 - Purple Bearded Iris


I've begun.....now here's hoping I can keep it up...posting a daily painting, that is! This one is of a beautiful purple bearded iris that was blooming in our yard.  It was planted by my mother-in-law, Mary,  a number of years ago. We bought Mary's house after her death in 2004, and throughout the year are reminded of her love of gardening as the perennials she planted reappear. Bill cut this iris yesterday and brought it in so we could enjoy it up close & personal....after studying it for awhile yesterday evening, I decided I 'needed' to paint it!
