Wild Iris

[MurrayG]

Hi Folks, managed to scratch the itch again and had a walk along the path above the sea. A field of wild Iris in flower. Painting is a bit overworked,
amd I got carried away with the foreground and overlooked the tree and stone wall a bit ....Ha!
But the morning was lovely. Sennelier on Canson MT smooth side, about 35x30cm. I am learning that Pastelmat is easier for pleinair so I need to scrounge another pad from somewhere.

I notice your coloring has changed of late as you seem more on the expression/impression side of the coin these days. Real nice color combinations happening here. Sort of Van Gogh style to the composition.

You have some gorgeous views to paint, Murray, and I can see why you chose this one. The flowers are the star of this show and they do have a Van Gogh look! I hope you can find more Pastelmat soon.

Very nice Murray. The flowers are great but I particularly like the tree.

Hi Wayne, Really??! I think when I am doing pleinair, it's a balance between impatience, frustration, confusion etc.
In the studio, I seem to be more organised, outside, it's chaos Re the colours, maybe it's the Senneliers that push me a little, the Remmies are harder and so I make more controled lines etc...... But, thanks for the encouragement and thoughts, hope I can now harness the effect a little.

It was a lovely spot just under the path, the painting deserves better and I will try for a studio piece, thanks for your input.

Hi Sno, haHa... that was my least favourite part so it just goes to show, do the work and let it free..... Thank you so much.
