HI, my Iris Class was yesterday in Norfolk at the Norfolk Botanical Garden. I had 7 very sweet students, we enjoyed shadow painting, pouring in a more controlled way,and painting our iris.(Shadow painting is wonderful, take your flower and put it over your paper with a strong light to create a clear shadow,paint the shadow with water and now add color to the water wash.--they turn out very loose and oh so gorgeous, try one!) I found the iris in Tasley at Basket and Bows Florist and so Friday I drove up there to get them.
The iris have finally opened all the way. I did a demo there but will do more here. Here they are on my art table, such a beautiful color.
Sadie,our lab, is doing great she brought in a 4 foot stick to knaw on under my art table.. I took her photo before I took it from her. Ha ha.. she loves to chew.She is sitting next to me now so I can scratch her neck while I type.
It's been a busy weekend.Hope you had a lovely one. love to you,Diana
Hi Diana, I have been catching up on your blog and read about poor Sadie! What a scare you had, I am relieved to see she is well.
