Tag As FavoriteComment		Maybe she's playing hide-n-seek? Or maybe she just lives among the flowers that are her namesake. I wanted to create a piece that had an abundance of irises (one of my favorite flowers) on this rag-textured mauve paper. I thought the color of the paper would complement both her skin tones and the flowers. Colored pencil and watercolor, 12' x 19'

Simply stunning... The flowers are so real and life-like, I want to reach out and touch them. Your style is beautiful, and I love the use of light and shadow.
Beautiful.

P.S. Teach me to draw hair... Please! I love her hair!

I just love this picture. If I could turn it into a cross stitch would you be mad at me. That is just stunning. Great work.

Beautiful! I love her facial expression, and the way she just blends in with the flowers, but is still her own. It's fun to look at 2
