Iris

I recently thought I had a break before Jerry came home from having his hip surgery, so I went to visit my friend, Susan. She has a wonderful garden and I had hoped to paint some of her flowers. Of course we spent some time catching up with each other since we haven't been together in months. But before I could paint, my phone rang and I had to head back home to take care of some calls before Jerry would be released the following day. I did stop and take a few photos. This is one of her many irises that were in bloom. I couldn't do it from life but I did do it from the photo. 
This is one of the paintings I did as part of this year's 30x30 Direct Watercolor Challenge. So far I am keeping up with one a day.

  3. Beautifully painted, Joan. I love Iris's. So many colors..I personally love the purples...but wish they lasted a little longer. I'm glad everything is working out with Jerry and that he's coming home soon. I will be praying that he gets stronger every day. You're amazing how you take care of him and yet never stop painting.. sending you hugs....
