Downtown Gallery, Cartersville, Ga ,Part of the Booth Western Museum

This picture of the Iris with water dew drops was a favorite to paint, and difficult as it was to paint with a bad cornea in my left eye, I feel one has to make lemonade and just keep going and adapt to the situation, so I feel it is an accomplishment in itself. I am proud that it is on display at the Gallery for 4 months! A fellow photographer gave me permission to paint it, as I usually get my husband to take the picture of things I want to paint from our trips. I also do commissions which I love to do as I feel usually some favorite place or landscape, seascape or other is a wonderful gift to give to those that cherish those places and I what I call "Art for Keeps". Painting is my passion and as long as I can I will continue to paint.
