I planted these Iris 15 years ago and
am delighted they still come up and
put on a show.
I mixed Pearl Ex powder in with yellow
and some of the green to get a metallic
look on parts of the flower. That's why the close
up as it doesn't really show above.
Sort of shows up at the centers. Hard to get in a photo.
Here are some photo's of this little gem.
I have two filler plants that are little
work horses in hanging baskets so had to add them in.
So this is my yellow Summer of Color.

Beautiful colourings and drawings, so life like. x
Ha! Your comment cracked me up - you can't draw dirt? Hmm . . . well, it will be interesting to see what happens here ;) Your piece is beautiful - I love the elegant lines and bold color here. It is really so pretty. Thank you for everything, xo
Coincidence?! I've just been watching a program about colourful iris's including yellow ones. Gorgeous.
Pretty, pretty, pretty! Your Iris looks so graceful.
These are wonderful. Learning to really like yellow this week! Brown is going to be interesting!
:) Nan
What a beautiful Iris, and the painted one to, I'm enjoying your paintings. Have a nice 4th, I just watered the canyon as we had a fire from "unknowns" way below us but I'm not taking any chances :)
Great sketches! Wish I could draw flowers - more than just a basic loopy daisy anyway. These feel very summery and definitely do yellow proud!
I love iris's Sharon, and your art work is beautiful!
Beautiful Sharon. Happy 4th to you too.
We are really enjoying out big yellow irises that grow at the edge of the ponds. We started planting them three years ago and they are glorious - just like yours!
Beautiful, and I bet close up the Pearl Ex has given a lovely effect.
really lovely...xxx
Beautiful elegant iris painting.
What gorgeous irises.
Your drawing is stunning. I love the outline and the frame effect.
Another wonderful group of flowers...so pretty!! I envy your garden, I'm afraid I don't have much of a green thumb. Can't wait to see what you come up with for brown! xox Joanna
Beautiful iris!
Beautiful inspiration! Love your watercolors. :)
Just look at how lovely these little watercolor studies are!!! Worthy of frames for sure!!! Had a wonderful 4th - hope you had an awesome weekend too! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Your watercolours are beautiful.
I love these irises. Mine are blooming at the moment. I actually sketched them into my journal last year and then made a mixed media canvas with them as the focal point for an exhibition. They are such a lovely flower! Julie
hmm, that last comment seem to be all about me! I love your sketches, they capture the movement of the flowers beautifully. Julie

I love your flower paintings. They have such a great feel to them. I love iris, they are so pretty. I only have purple ones, but I will have to add some yellows to my group.
just love your drawings and color!
Your flowers are so beautiful. They are full of life.
You're really good at capturing the beauty of your flowers, not only in your paintings, but in your photographs, as well. Love them, they remind me of old style nature journals.
