The evening light is so pretty–and dramatic. Lighting up these seasonally early irises that popped up in my yard.
as if flowers aren’t already hard—oh the translucence of the sun shining through
Here’s the underpainting – i have to work fast while the sun is setting–no time for a composition sketch
I am looking towards the sun, so color choices are really tricky, but I think i have something that will work
oh my gosh!!! that was crazy and fun!!! Painting while looking towards the sun–talk about a chaos palette!!!

Love those Irises! if my Iris wall wasn’t already full, I would add those !
