Mariposa Lily

The Mariposa Lilies that grow on our property are all up in one corner. They aren’t dense or showy. They’re cream colored blooms appear when the grass has turned it’s golden brown. It’s as if they wish to blend into the landscape. If I didn’t know when to expect them I would probably miss them. They come and go in a hurry. This is watercolor, 9″x12″.

They a delicate, subtle and fleeting.

Iris, from way back.

I painted this iris way back when. It was a very early watercolor for me. It’s fun to look back and to see how things have changed. A throwback if you will.

Mary and I visited the super-bloom this spring and our wildflowers at home have been amazing. I think its time to paint some more wildflowers.
