Spring Irises


I arrived in Illinois this spring to find a lovely bunch of irises growing at the edge of the woods by my home. There was no choice but to try capturing them in a painting. In this pastel I wanted to capture the cool shades of early spring along with the hints of a warm summer to come. Irises only last for a short time, but they always remind me of the promises of a fresh start.
