Peach Iris



I've been working on my peach iris.. after looking at it that night I decided I really didn't like the way it was headed... so I cropped it.. and put a very dark background of viridian green, ultramarine blue,and sepia. Wet the background and then I slathered it on,cutting close to the iris with my flat brush. I also added a bud. I love the buds.. so graceful. Forgive the raw edge of the painting.. I'll trim that.. as you can see it's still wet and I haven't signed it either..

Question? Do you think the mat cuts too much of the flower??thanks, talk to you soon, Diana
