Daily Painter Week Seven

This week, the iris are in bloom here in Vermont.  So here is my take--or better yet, four takes--on this lovely frilly flower....

"Iris"

 4" x 6" - watercolor with collage

Lily of the Valley came and went and the lupine is blooming now.  Siberian iris are still budded and will probably bloom next week along with the lemon lilies.
The next two were done while working with Sandy in Randolph...

"Bend in the White River"

4" x 6" - marker and colored pencil on watercolored paper

"Lumpy Clouds"

4" x 6" - watercolor

And finally, below is a paraphrase of the great Tibetan meditation instructor, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche's words.  They were shared on Susan Piver's wonderful online Open Heart Project and have been helping me keep my expectations a bit lower.... 

"Patience"

5 1/2" x 7 1/2" - marker and carbon pencil on watercolored paper

So, the daily artist adventure goes on....
