Peach Iris Painting ,Errands, Poor Rudy

Peach Iris,16x10,framed $300.

HI , Rudy, our 17 year old kitty was attacked again tonight by the feral male cat. She is ok, just so frightened she was sitting in her water bowl in the kitchen. Any advice would be welcome!

I've been up and down the shore today running errands with paintings. We're having hamburgers tonight, the turkey is gone! I'm glad although I really could use some more cranberry sauce. talk to you tomorrow. Diana

Finished Peach Iris

HI!I've just finished my Peach Iris painting. I added some darker lines, to the iris, some shading where the petals were too sheer and darkened the stems a little too. I used the #6 round for most of it and the colors I used to make the peach were cadmium yellow deep and red rose deep, I then added a touch of this thindigo violet for shading but mostly used the mix with less water.  For my green I used viridian green plus cad. yellow deep and ultramarine blue sometimes. I threw in a little of the blue as the wash was wet.. I love that color in iris stems!! Now what to paint... oooh I've got my eye on a bull frog.. will be working on that after I get my kitchen cleaned up.. talk to you soon,Diana

Painting Peach Iris Watercolor

I took a long walk in the nursery this morning. Saw a puddle full of little tadpoles,beautiful bushes dripping with white blossoms..and the deepest red of Japanese Maple leaves. I had to visit the ginko row. I love those trees.. This afternoon I've painted in the back porch,working on the peach iris.( I was missing my Daisy).. so I'm going to prop my painting up and look at it tonight.What does it need? take care,dear friends,Diana
