Iris in bloom!

My iris are starting to bloom and I normally don't cut them but...since I am painting now...they make great models!


My favorites are the old fashion lilacs...they smell of lick-a-maid! If you grew up in the 50's you know what I am talking about? Pixie Stix! The aroma just fills the entire room and is a very nice smell that takes me back to some great memories of my childhood.

Oh, we had a visitor that came inside with the flowers...wonder what type of spider this little guy is? He will have a home inside until the buds all die off...then out he will go to continue his life elsewhere!

Here are a couple of close-ups that I am going to attemp to paint...I will post them when I have completed...

Happy Spring!
