When my mother-in-law died, we dug up some of her bearded irises to replant in our garden; now we remember her every year when they bloom. This sketch is of one of the white ones.
Iris's are one of my favorites and I love that you remember your mother-in-law with this one. I have a hydrangea from my mother via my aunts garden that is just blooming this year. Very special, as my mother died in 1974 so of course I have nothing directly from her.
I like to share work in progress, random foodie notes (since I've written two cookbooks and illustrated others), and occasional past work from different periods of my 40+ years of drawing and painting.
