Irises splitting the warm & the cool

Here's a still life from a few weeks ago. I posted it on fb, but forgot to put it here too. I loved painting this great size of panel and a fantastic subject. I particularly like painting these type of irises I just love the rich saturated hues of blue and purple and then the flecks of warm yellow and white that appear within the bloom really key of those blues - fabulous!  The tablecloth is also a favorite of mine and always fun to paint.
