Vase of Iris
This is a watercolor which is framed. It is under glass, so I scanned it, not wanting a reflection to interfere....
I like this looseness and freshness of the iris and glass vase contrasted with the more solid chair. The chair also adds a "stripe" design element while the iris are rather soft and fuzzy!
I painted this about 4 years ago. Now that I am going to be temporarily unemployed (by choice), I hope to do more watercolors! I am taking my watercolors and sketchbook down to Mom's this week...to be ready if the painting muse shows up!
I found this test on Janet's blog.

By the way, I am not much of an early riser!
I used to stay up late, (after the kids were asleep, my "real" life began)...now I can't stay awake that late...last night I fell asleep, reading Anthoy De Mello' s "Awarness" (ha!), about 9:00 p m!....but I was up this morning before the sun....Maybe I am changing? Life is lovely at both ends of the day!

Lila,
I like your irises very much, and you are right about the contrast between the chair and the flowers.
I did not know that your unemployment was temporary!
Good luck at your Mom's with doing some paintings. It will be good for you to take breaks from cleaning.

You know I would like this painting! Irises are so beautiful and graceful....and purple!!
I hope we'll be seeing lots more of your watercolor paintings now that you will be a full-time artist!
I bet you are so looking forward to spending more time on your art.
I did the test ~ I am also a sunrise. That didn't suprise me, I am up with the birds and popped out by 8:00 pm!
Yes, take your sketchbook with you and have a great time with your mom!
I love your lovely painting!
I am a sunrise but I work from 6:30am to 3:30pm so no surprise there, LOL
I surprised myself being a midnight, but that is because I'm not a loner, but enjoy being alone. I consider myself a morning person and if it isn't done by 2 o'clock, it probably won't be done.
I love to see iris in a vase..your impression is lovely...in watercolor NG
Your painting is lovely. I'm glad you are getting this break from work.
I have read Anthony de Mello and find his writings very moving.
These are beautiful Lila! I have a special love of irises because that's my mother's name:) Your paintings are so wonderful. Thank you for sharing your art with us. Love, Jamie
Interesting, Lila, I am sunrise too.
