Yellow Iris

Lela

I was lucky my visit to Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington coincided with a really fine weather and the Irises were in full bloom... in all their breathtaking glory... How could I resist painting them! I had once read that the word iris means “rainbow”, it was named after a Greek Goddess who is considered the messenger of love and uses the rainbow to travel. In this watercolor painting I have tried to capture the spirit of this beauty...the space and atmosphere around the flower ... and the luminosity and softness of the petals. I hope you like it and it brings a smile to your eyes. For my new paintings visit - lelacreations.blogspot.com Facebook- www.facebook.com/lelacreations
