Purple & White (Iris)

Watercolor on paper

The cherry trees are blossoming and many new plants are pushing through the soil in my garden. Spring is here! It's my first spring in this house, after we returned to the USA, and I can't wait to see what the previous tenants planted in my garden while we were away. By the shape of the leaves, I can tell that I have a lot of irises but don't know the variety.... the wait and expectation are killing me!

Yellow Iris in Coppet

Yellow Iris

5"x7" Watercolor on paper

Another one of my irises. I like this one a lot! I saw this lonely yellow iris along the road when I was driving my daughter back from her dance class. I had to go back there, the same afternoon, to make a reference photo. I was afraid that the rain would damage it. I think it was worth the effort, what do you think?

Chateau des Bois Iris

Chateau des Bois Iris
6.5 "x 10" Watercolor on Arches paper

We were invited to a "cave ouverte" at Chateau des Bois, a magnificent 400 year old estate, near Geneva. The wine they produce at the chateau is fantastic - we came back home with an assorted selection of wine to be savored in the months to come. Yumm! The irises were in bloom and they made the estate even more magnificent.

Blue Iris in Commugny

Blue Iris in Commugny

6.5" x 10.5"

This is another one of my irises from my favorite private garden in the neighborhood. My reference photo was taken during broad daylight but I thought I might paint a dark background to make the blue iris "pop out". I hope you like the effect. Have a good day!

White Iris in Commugny

6"x6" Watercolor on Arches paper

I like walking around my neighborhood to get some exercise and I have always admired this beautiful garden near my house - it is always blooming with seasonal flowers. The other day, I saw the gardener tending her irises and I stopped to talk to her. She was a lovely suisse lady and so kind to allow me to take some reference photos for my watercolors. I promised her I would be back to show her my work. I hope she likes my interpretation of her beloved white irises.

The irises in the neighborhood are all blooming, in all colors. I stopped at the garden of a lovely lady near my house and I got a lot of reference photos from her beautiful garden and will paint them at my own leisure. Have a great day!
