Irises in Love captures a tender moment between two blooming bearded iris flowers, their white and maroon petals gently leaning toward each other as if in quiet conversation.

Rich blue irises blooms over swordlike leaves, on the bank of a pond that is thickly covered with waterlily leaves. White lilies are scattered among the leaves.

"Iris at Dawn," Maria Oakey Dewing, 1899.

Dewing (1845-1927) was the wife of painter Thomas Wilmer Dewing (who I really like) and an accomplished painter in her own right, mostly of florals but some figures.

She was born into an intellectual New York family, including an architect brother, and studied painting from an early age. including a spell at the Cooper Union, and being a founding member of the Art Students League of New York. Even as a student she was getting good notices and acclaim for her work.

She and her husband were both passionate gardeners and nature enthusiasts, and she believed it was important to study and paint nature. Her floral works were her most famous, and she won awards at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo.

She also did still lifes and textile art, occasional painting collaborations with Thomas, wrote a number of books and articles, and later in life moved to portraits and figural work, but expressed dissatisfaction about not reaching her full potential. While she loved her husband very much, she also felt overshadowed by him.

Happy Flower Friday!

A Realist painting of a group of blooming irises, among foliage.

Cleaning out my main email account, spotting a sakes push for #irises.. I'm looking in part for good #pollinators to add to my gardens, and want plants I can use to make paper. Apparently 3 irises are native to my state & irises can be used to make good rope.... so I think I will see if this fall I can get some to indeed add them to my gardens, in the hope these rhizomes can be coaxed into spreading. #PaperMaking #Art #GrowYourOwn #Gardening

First project of the day complete, though I only have so much hope for the #irises with the "cows dropped dead in the pastures" heat advisory today. But I'd cleared them out of another area, had them under a tarp in the garage, so at least I'm giving them a fighting chance. #gardening #perennials

More irises! Inspired by a variety grown by threebrothersblooms. Irises are mostly done in the Midwest. It was a glorious season!

This is a watercolor painting of three bearded irises in a Bella Classica watercolor journal. The orientation is portrait. The irises are a variety that has golden brownish yellow top petals and purple side and bottom petals. The purple petals vary from warm purples to cool purples. All of the petals are frilly. Stems and thin yellowish green leaves complete this painting.
