"Black Iris" by Carol Thompson
"Tall and stately, dark and mysterious, a black iris stands alone; towering over the smaller bud about to open. Soon the new bud will be in that exalted place, as the black iris continues its summer cycle."
Artist comment: "Among the array of summer beauties, the black iris stands alone. In my Olympia, Washington garden, I planted a row of various colors. When this velvety black bloom opened, I knew it had to be painted. I sketched the flowers and two buds on Arches 140 # hot-pressed watercolor paper. After washing in an abstract background, I rendered the deep black in layers, leaving the edges lighter. Finally I painted the leaves and stems." |
