Asking Myself "Why" ... Why Do I Tackle Such Complicated Subjects??? Iris Update

Since the past post, I have tweaked the foliage, added a w/w wash of quin. violet to the fall, and started working on the teeny, tiny shadows on the uprights. Right about now, when I am cross-eyed from trying to paint detail, I ask myself WHY I choose complicated subjects. But ... here it is, almost done ...

Thank you for dropping by! Your comments are always welcome.

  1. This is why, when you create something of beauty that is purely yours.

  2. Because you do it so amazingly well!! Stop now!!! (Looks done to me). Fabulous! Composition - wonderful! And how you do those whites - 'taint easy - but you make it look like nothing. That is why!
