Iris

[BarryC]

Yes, I'm still alive, but not doing as much art as I would like.

 This piece took me 8 hours. I would work on it for an hour than not touch it for two or three weeks, when some time freed up.

This is a 9 x 12 mix media 98# paper, using Caran D'ache Luminance. Reference by Julie Talarski. The lesson was approx. 3h long, but I only watched the first two videos, about 30m worth, then ventured out on my own. I'm happy with the results as flowers have been very hard for me - this is the first I completed.

Thinking about a blurred pan pastal background.

Thanks for looking,

Barry

I was just thinking about you the other day, Barry.  So good to see your work again.

Such good detailing.  The petals are so soft and delicate.

Nice to hear from you.  This flower is absolutely perfect.  Love the colors and all the details in the petals.   

Hope you can steal few more hours here and there for art.
