Progression.  I would like to show this new floral.  This isn't it, but it is the beginning.  It is where the tough part begins because I like it so far, but I know it lacks drama and presence that I know it can have if I just trust my instincts to push a little more.  It is painted using a series of photographs of iris that I took a few years ago.  They grow beside and in my pond.  I love the elegance and stately presence of iris.
