nice touch, good handling of colors and shapes, not crazy about the presentation

Artist Reply: thank you Dan - your constructive criticism is well taken. You are right it's not a good presentation at all! It is actually just a watercolor sketch in my book. it's not a serious or finished piece by any means. I just happened to see this iris withp aint in hand so i sketched it.

Barbara, this is a stunning Iris and the technical work is perfect. Michael

Artist Reply: why thank you michael! good to hear from you again. it's good to paint things one loves - it always turns out better. i think painting in my sketch book took out the pressure to make a masterpiece which actually gave freedom to do better than that! here's my favorite quote: "Your art is to be the praise of something that you love. It may only be the praise of a shell or a stone." John Ruskin
