Yellow Iris from my Garden

Yellow Iris Watercolour

I don't have to go far to find inspiration for my painting, as the flowers gradually make a comeback in our garden. We have a group of irises that have been springing up for the last ten years but didn't make a show last year, when I thought I had lost them for good. I was therefore doubly pleased to see them again this spring and decided to have a go at their complicated form.

Apart from watercolour paint, I also used watercolour pencil to draw in the yellow veins.
