Wild Irises at Sea Ranch

This is another oldie that I painted from a photo I took when I was walking in the beautiful seaside community called Sea Ranch, along the Northern California coast. I have always had a fascination for how the edges of things meet and crop each other- I think it started when I developed an interest in quilting. My favorite part of that was choosing the fabrics and laying them next to each other, choosing the most interesting, or even most subtle combinations to border one another. I started playing with that in my paintings- it really makes it interesting for me to pull out edges and shapes where I "find " them.
