Mini Irises in the Sunshine

NEW WORKS FROM THE STUDIO OF ART BY WENDY
MINI IRISES IN THE SUNSHINE - 1.75 X 2.75 - $90 MATTED

Spring and sunshine are in the air and on my paper.  After finishing the larger picture I set myself  the challenge to make the miniature.  I know, who does a large picture as a study for a mini!!  Still I love these tiny pieces, they really are a very up close, intimate kind of art.
Irises have always been a popular flower for painting, particularly the colourful bearded ones, but until I caught the images of these irises on a sunny day I really didn't understand why.  Their colours attract the eye but I think it is the combination of sharp line and the soft curls that keeps it.  Enjoy!

As always all my pictures are available as prints or cards, starting at $3.50 for cards.
