Finished my "Phlox Field" Painting

I've been having a difficult time finishing this painting because I've been spending more time doing Plein Air work. My flowers are bursting out everywhere, and all I want to do is paint them. So, I've been working on this in my studio on the rainy or colder days--and there hasn't been too many of those.

Iris Time in the Garden

One of my favorite times of year in my garden is when the Iris start blooming, and here in Virginia that time is now! Like other Spring flowers, they don't last very long, but long enough to get my painting of them. Below is this seasons...
