Irises 20

Mona Pendleton | Saturday, March 11, 2017 @ 6:32 PM | Iris , Oil Painting

Hi! I hope you are having a great weekend! Today I have a couple of oil painted Irises to share that I painted on an 8" x 8" canvas panel inspired by Nancy Medina:

Lovin' all the vibrant transparent colors in the underpainting but I'm not thrilled with the colors of the Iris on the left. Practice, practice, practice...

I'm linking this painting to the current Paint Party Friday site where they are celebrating their 6th anniversary!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be Sweet ;)
