Though April showers may come your way,
They bring the flowers that bloom in May.
So if it’s raining, have no regrets,
Because it isn’t raining rain you know, it’s raining violets.

Because of the cooler weather and big rainstorm, today was a good day to work in the studio. Around Columbia, irises are starting to bloom and provide inspiration. Working in the studio allows me to focus on composition and complementary colors without being distracted by weather and bugs. I used pure hues in this piece to create a happy spring iris garden.
