Artist Reply: Thank you for your kind comment. Irises are one of my favourite flowers and these were in my parents garden many years ago. Now there are so many new varieties I want to draw them all! Love your photos - especially the geese babies!

Artist Reply: Thank you so much for your kind words. Irises are a favourite of mine too and I just had to draw these ones that were in my parents garden. I love your work too & can't wait for you to post some more.

Artist Reply: Thank you so much for your kind comment on my iris drawing. I have just been into your portfolio and absolutely adore your work. I think your tulips are fabulous, especially the one you use for the thumbnail. The combination of the red with the blue background is just stunning! I can't wait to have time to go and explore more of your works! Thanks again, Jane

Artist Reply: Thank you for your kind words. I see by your works that you just love vibrant colours and I am the same - I find that I can achieve this much easier with pencils than watercolours but I have never tried oil pastels. Perhaps I should as I really love the effects that you have attained in your pictures, especially the Dahlia - thats just super! Thanks again Jane

Artist Reply: Thank you so much for your kind words. This is such an old work that I was unsure whether to include it in my portfolio or not, but everyone's comments have been so complimentary that I am glad that I did! I think your work is absolutely superb & can't wait to get back to have a look at some of your paintings and photos in more detail. Thanks again Jane
