Description
This colored pencil drawing was created from a photograph I took of an iris when visiting in Denver, Colorado. I work with prisma colored pencils to create the different values you see in the individual petals of this work. I love to create a high contrast of light against darks in my work. I choose this photograph to work from because I loved the intense blues in the original photo. I hope you have enjoyed this drawing and will share it with others. You can see more of my work in the various galleries on my homepage. Thank you for visiting and please come back.

Thank you s much, Laurel. I truly appreciate it and thank you for sponsoring the contest. I must admit I am very happy. My father liked irises and since he passed away 20 years ago, I try to grow irises and take pictures of them to do some of my art.
