Fleur de Lis

7"X5” Oil on board

I recently saw a stop motion video of some plants with a comment about “who knew that plants moved so much”. Well, anyone who has ever tried to paint them, that’s who.

I knocked this little iris off while weeding yesterday and just had to bring it inside. There is some disagreement as to whether the fleur de lis is an iris or a lily. I have always thought that the iris is a more likely candidate.

It has been a long time since I painted in oils, and even longer since I was doing my regular daily paintings in this size. I am a bit out of practice but should probably persevere.
