Crayons and pencils...your first experiences of applying marks to paper...how much fun it was to see the colors you chose appear on paper. Nothing has changed. Grown up colored pencils continue the experience and the joy.

There is a race of iris, native to the west coast of north America with varieties known collectively as Pacific Coast Native Iris.  They are underappreciated on many levels as they need no summer water and are delicate beauties in many colors.
This white one is grown from seed I harvested, grew and photographed.  I feel like a proud mama!  While primarily colored pencil, this is actually a mixed media piece and all the more beautiful for it.
