A short hiatus to deal with the world and have a little trip to see some family had me returning to the brushes missing my irises. The selected bloom this time is called Sweet Musette.
These blooms are a great subject to explore brush and paint technique and I'm learning a lot by working on them. It seems that some others are enjoying them as well with a couple of them finding new homes.

This is beautiful Mick. You work with this subject very well-always a pleasure to see your Irises. The colors are all just perfect together. Can you tell me what that ivory like color around the center is that you have used?
my favourite so far Mick - just gorgeous!
This is brilliant Mick. Good composition, and the colours and detail are excellent. Well done.
Nice subtle colouring and showing real improvement over previous ones. Just shows that concentrated effort is the way to improve.
Sophia - Thanks a lot. The colour around the centre is Quinacridone Gold and some Quinacridone Gold Deep in parts.
Sharon - Thanks. Maybe practice pays dividends.
Ray - Cheers. Glad you like it.
Peter - Thanks. You are right, no pain, no gain.
The best yet Mick. I like the graduated colours in the falls.
Yvonne - Thank you so much for your encouragement. I'm working hard at improving my technique with this sort of subject matter.
Spectacular!! It must be even more stunning in real life.
Incredible, very beautiful work Mick, great to see you painting flowers.
Nora - You are very kind. I'm hoping it impresses enough to find a home.
Caroline - Thanks. I'm having a lot of fun working with these images and also learning a lot about technique.
Wow! No crit on this one...she's a beauty Mick!
Ron - Thanks a lot.
