Iris's portrait

Now I am a bit overwhelmed. I try to paint everyday, in which sometimes I cannot do that. I also do Scavenger Hunt sketching, join weekend art event, and try to be more active in "watercolor" forum at Wetcanvas. The good news is that I finish with my two art card exchange projects. So today is a special treat to get to do a portrait of something I love and know real well. This is Iris from a recent photo. It is about 9x12 inch done with Conte crayons.
