From the inner space

Much as I enjoy painting flowers, the inner space has an even greater richness of imagery for me. These are all portions of the same picture, starting with its central figures…

And moving in closer…

And now to one corner…

And finally to my favorite being, over in the other corner. As I see it, he is offering his gift to the heart…

From the garden

From the garden of my watercolor class, that is…

Can you tell which of these irises (above or below) were drawn from real flowers and which from a photo?

Okay, now I think I’ve figured out how to post on this blog!
