Iris Daily Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

5" x 5" textured acrylic painting

The way that irises flow lends itself well to my style of painting. Their shapes are so organic, they just seem to spill from the plant like water. Then you throw in some of the most incredible colors and I am a happy camper!

When we planted the garden a couple of years ago we went with re-blooming irises so that we would have flowers throughout the year. I wasn’t quite sure how often they would bloom or how long they would last, but I have been very pleased with what they have been doing this year.

Our first year's blooms of irises were pretty anemic, so this year when I had so many blossoms I was ecstatic! With multiple plants flowering throughout the garden, I had my choice of what captured my eye.

Oh how I love sunflowers. Everything about them just screams happy. I have even planted some in my garden and it looks like I will be home this year to see them. Can't wait! Unfortunately, last year the birds got to them before I had a chance to do anything with them.

A rose is a rose, is a rose. Not in my backyard – they are what I look at first thing in the morning as I am waiting on my coffee. I love to look out the windows to see if I have any new blooms and what color they are today. That way I can get an idea of what I want to paint that day.

Once more my roses have been providing me with a huge amount of inspiration. Almost every time I turn around there is a new bloom with stunning colors. I love the plant that we picked out, I just had no idea that it would produce such a varied array of different flowers on the same bush.

Spending time painting my garden this year has been the perfect form of therapy for surviving this type of house arrest. I can go out on my patio and enjoy a cool breeze while I paint until my heart is content. So I guess that is one positive note to come from everything that has been going on for the last couple of months. I hope these yellow beauties lift your spirits, too!

Daffodils are symbols of spring and in many cultures their blooms kick off the start of many festivals. For me they just seem to make me happy. The petals appear to dance in the breeze with the colors inviting you in for a closer look. Their beauty is fleeting though, so I had to capture them quick before they faded out until next year.
