Loosening myself up with some of the multitude of irises I have this year: best year ever. For next spring I'll have to plant some white and yellow ones too.
Tomorrow I go to Rehoboth for the first of two plein air competitions I'm participating in the summer. I'm so busy worrying about the weather, which has been gray, windy, and rainy, that I can't stress about my painting!
The event's supposed to go off, rain or shine, though I'm not quite sure how that's supposed to work.I may come home having learned a lot about gray.

Laura, your iris are awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Laura, and remember, there can be a LOT of color in greys :)
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful and so are the gulls. I love your work. Don't worry about the weather. Perhaps they'll have tents. Besides from what I can tell grey is never really grey -- it's all the colours of the land or sea below it.

Laura, you never lose your touch, these are perfect, and good luck on your trip. BJ
ReplyDeleteBest luck on your competition. I'm certain you will thrive in whatever weather. The blue iris are the best of all.
ReplyDeleteI am 10 minutes from Rehoboth, in Bethany Beach - and it is supposed to be a warm sunny weekend.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you
Your Irises are just beautiful. I lived in Rehoboth for a couple of years…have fun and don’t stress about the weather…can’t wait to hear your report. Say hi to the boardwalk and Bethany Beach from me. I may have asked you this before, but where in Maryland/Virginia do you live? For quite some time I had family who lived in New Market, Md.
ReplyDeleteI agree this is awesome, love the color blending and the freedom.. have a great time!! Take a big hat.. and good luck , you will do wonderfully.. can't wait to hear. Diana
ReplyDeletevibrant irises laura all the best with your plein air
ReplyDeleteThese iris are beautiful. Last year, a bad hail storm tore down everyone of mine; this year I have no flowers at all. I'm hoping for them next year. Good luck in Rehoboth; I'm sure you will do well.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time!
ReplyDeleteLove the beauty and simplicity of these irises. Gorgeous color too. Wishing you fun times at your plein aire painting days!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are very nice.

Your irises remind me of why I love watercolour so much Laura. Hope you have a great trip whatever the weather!
ReplyDeleteOh, Laura, you so captured the "iris-ness" of these! Hahaaaa! Beautiful. Have a wonderful time at the workshops. I'll look forward to what you come up with. Even if it rains, you'll find a spot and do some lovely work. I feel confident of that.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck Laura. Whatever you do will be great,i am sure:)
