You are not quite in control of nature; you are part of nature. It doesn’t mean that you are helpless, either. It means that the whole question in art is to be wide awake, to be as attentive as possible, for the artist and for the person who looks at it or listens to it.
- Fairfield Porter
I had these Irises in my previous garden (Tarlton, south Africa), and besides the blue, there was a Beige-coloured one, not too spectacular from a distance, but upon closer inspection turned out to be absolutely stunning with tinges of burgundy-brown on the inside and fringing the edges. I’m sorry now that I didn’t capture them as well.

I am a watercolorist living on my little piece of African soil in Tarlton, Gauteng, South Africa. The inspiration for my art is the wonderfully rich variety of Fauna and Flora to be found throughout this beautiful country.
