I have been looking at the work of Georgia O'Keefe and those of you who are familiar with her flower paintings will probably see her influence on the painting I have done of Dark Niobe which is one of my favourite clematis.

Irises
In my garden grows a beautiful iris called Black Swan. The upper petals are like silk and the lower ones are like velvet.
I learnt from the Chelsea Flower Show that Cedric Morris was not only a great painter of flowers but he was a keen grower of Irises. This is his painting of 'Iris Seedlings" done in 1943. Irises are very beautiful and very inspirational to paint.

Red finesse with a Modigliani lady
I love flowers and wanted to paint some roses which I grow in my garden. They are called Red Finesse. The painting needed some white in it and so this lady by Modigliani came to mind so I popped it in.
