| My iris "Immortality" happily blooming in September |
There is an iris in full bloom in my garden. When I planted it I knew that it is a re-bloomer and comes back in the fall, but I didn't expect that it will be blooming through August and September and will keep coming up with new flowering stems again and again. This is definitely a winner in my search for long blooming perennials. And as one doesn't get many chances to paint irises in the fall, here it is. I didn't plan well the background and am not very happy with how it turned out, but you get the idea that I was after strong contrast.
Dear Blaga
ReplyDeleteExcellent work . You painting did bring out the white so well. Beautiful blooms in the garden and in the painting.

Fabulous painting, Blaga! The contrast makes the flowers realle stand out. I love the subtle colors in the flowers. I did not know irises bloom in fall too.
ReplyDeleteAmazing quality of Iris, re-flowering is so rare in these plants! You have caught the motion of the petals and dazzling white, with great grace!
ReplyDeleteBlaga, I think that you should be proud of your work, it looks to be very nice! I like the drawing of the flower, the whites and also the contrast. Well done! Ciao!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nanda, you're very kind!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Judy! I spent time planning and measuring the values of the color on the petals, and then when I came to the background, I had run out of patience :)
It's really an amazing flower, Rita, it lifts my spirit when I look at its curly white petals. Thank you!
I'm glad you like it, Tito. I wish I had done the background as smoother wet-in-wet wash with soft color fusions... next time :)
Genial this iris. something to paint the whole year. your painting is beautiful
ReplyDeleteReally love this painting,great shadowing and contrast.... and I really envy you this long-flowering Iris, the kind of flowers a garden should be filled with :-)
