I am going to continue posting pieces that will be featured in my studio for the North Coast Open Studio tour.

Iris flowers have, as you would surmise,  always been part of my life. My grandmother had a garden full of mostly blue ones. I have yellow, blue, and some of a strange buff color - that came with my garden. I photographed many beautiful iris blooms in Erich Schimp's lovely garden in Arcata,  

last year. Here are mixed media and digital variations on the blue ones.

I will open my studio on the second weekend of June 13 - 14, 11 to 5

 

Here's the website for NCOS 2009 for more information.
