Lady Of The Lake


I really enjoy painting flowers, but to place one upon a nice landscape, as well, is even more fun.

This painting of an iris is just that, and is one of those that I had a great deal of fun painting.

I just recently had this painting juried into, and sold at the Glendale Art Competition.

  2. A lovely painting, you seem to achieve a wonderful luminosity in your paintings, do you use the layer method of painting used by the old masters?

  3. Hi Purcell,

    Yes, I surely do use a layered method, actually a glazing process, often used by the old masters. I really enjoy working with that method. I begin with a monochromatic, gray underpainting, over which I apply many color glazes.
