Linda, Thank you. I was a little hesitant about creating my own challenge, but am finding it "challenging" and fun!

Thank you Kelley. I think it's the Permanent Rose that I mixed in and know you love!

Linda, Thanks. Sometimes the plein air pieces have to be done so quickly, that the brushstrokes just happen!

Thank you Claire, I love Iris season!

Sylviane and Sherry, Thank you both so much!

Vic, The iris is one of my favorites, too!

Becky, Thanks so much. I love flowers. They're little, 3-d pieces of art.

Thank you Celeste, It was a little challenging getting all the color values in the wrinkles!

Liz, thanks so much!

Thank you Dean, The strokes have to be quick when you're running out of time!
