This watercolor of a Purple Bearded Iris has a gold leaf textured effect on the background. In the original layers of the leaf are applied to the watercolor paper while painting watercolor over the leaf to tone down the shine and give it an aged look. Prints will not have the shine but still will show lots of texture and color changes.

I live in a tropical rainforest and often use flowers and foliage in my work. I'm in love with the beauty, healthy lifestyle and Aloha spirit I found in Hawaii. My work also includes ocean scenes and my favorite, "Honu", Hawaiian Green Seaturtles. I grew up in Oregon and that is where my art education began. I was blessed to be taught by many great artists. I love to take a technique and explore new creative ways to use them. Adding gold leaf to my watercolors is another favorite of mine. Later I taught many classes myself in Hilo, Hawaii. Color and Texture is a common theme in all of my work. Please visit my site and enjoy the many creative ways I've used them. Kerri Free counters
