Iris original watercolors~


Iris.


Purplish~blue & chartreuse~
Another fine color pair!


How I wish I could add scent to my watercolor paintings.
I love the Disney amusement ride Soarin~
(well, maybe not the tickle your tummy part)
Gliding over the orchards... it smells like an orange grove!
JOY!


I always paint light to dark. Building, "glazing" colors in layers.


Save the fine details as my finishing touches...
Too often I added fussy details as I went along. 
Now I wait, just in case I want to deepen a tone & sometimes less is more.


Just listed these two originals in my 2nd Etsy shop~
I think birds & some seaside will be coming next!

Hope you have a nice evening!
