'The Iris and the Marble" 6" x 6" Oil

The Marble is lusting after the shiny turquoise glass vase. 

This Iris was just a bud yesterday and that is the last of the one plant that I have. :-(

"Iris in a silver cup" 6" x 6" Oil

I worked on setting this one up yesterday, Sunday, because the bloom was huge and beautiful with 3 buds and one almost bloom.   I had some difficulty because the stem was so long it was hard to find a vase that did not make it flop forward so the bloom was facing down.   I thought I had a great idea, I would gently wrap some floral wire around the base and stem and gently angle it upward.  The bloom broke off!   So much for that.... I decided to do laundry.    I saved the bloom but it did not last the night but the bloom that was almost a bloom looked fabulous this morning so I painted it.  

This iris is very dark, almost black so when lit with a spot light it brought out the purple, red and blue.   I used to have numerous ones in the garden but now only this one blooms.  Sadly my irises send up leaves but do not bloom.  Sup with that?

"Social Distance Hugging" 6" x 6" Oil

Blue went for a walk and saw his friend Pink and she wanted to give him a hug but needed to keep the social distancing.  So she just fluttered around.

I painted this on Tuesday and kept forgetting to post!!   I need to work on my follow through.

Dreaming of travel 18" x 18" oil on wood

This is a larger work, 18" x 18" on wood with 1.5"wood sides that are painted also.   I think of my daily small paintings as sketches and I believe some of them will work well in larger formats.   The compass is from my childhood when I would go to camp and we were required to bring our own compass.   I have no idea why I put the marble there... maybe subconsciously as a rolling stone.
