Iris at Roebling Roads

7-1/2" x 11"

Watercolor

A week ago in a watercolor class with Jeanne Hartman, some of the class painted a light purple iris as part of the still life.  At the end of the class, I took it home with me to take along on our trip to Georgia; it was too pretty to just toss away.  Remembering Sharon Benner's suggestion for the SVPAP to paint a still life in plein air, I thought I'd give it a try.

I sat up the iris with strong light coming from the right side. Painted with the race track in the background and sand pit nearest the foreground I had many people stopping by to see my progress.  The race track's name is Roebling Roads and it is located a little south of Savannah, Georgia.
