Sometimes a place like the Getty Museum is the best inspiration!

I had an afternoon of vigorous painting as soon as I returned from this little outing.

The gardens and architecture of this place are almost more inspiring that the art.

I passed some purple irises just the other day in a clump under a neighbor's mailbox. The blooms were already way past their first blush, but I'll have to remember that spot and catch it at its peak for next year. I found these irises at a flower shop. The color of them were eye-catching. Their tall, regal beauty is accentuated by the slender glass vase.

Swirls of color in rich impasto strokes generate energy and motion in this symbolic and romantic painting of blue Iris from the garden.

I always try to keep some small paintings as well as large and here are examples of each!

                                       Very impressionistic and painterly with thick chunky oil!
