Purple Iris

January 2013 - 5" x 7" Acrylic on Canvas Board

This is a little painting I did in January, just to get some time with my brushes.  The subject is simple, the background is not intended to look at all natural.  (I'm experimenting with dark backgrounds to provide more interesting contrasts.)

Dioxizine purple, with medium magenta and titanium white make up the flower, while the foliage is anthriquinone blue, hansa yellow and more titanium white.  The background is pure anthriquinone blue.
