Workspace
I wanted to paint iris flowers for two reasons. The purple iris is the flower of my daughter’s sorority and secondly I had just seen the Van Gogh Irises at the Met. Luckily a local florist had the stems in stock. I took a lot of photos to work up the sketch, but the most useful was having the blooms right on my work table.
