Partially abstract water lilies 14

I went back to the clouds reflection on this one. The one closest to me (the love of my life), are not so happy with that, don't appreciate gray as a color.
Me, I love it, I think it gives it a mood,and I think it gives it an edge that I like.

Yellow Iris 1

I was taking some pictures of flowers in the park a few weeks ago, some inspired me a lot. One made it to a painting, and also fit "The Outside Your Window Challenge".
The Iris flowers are beautiful, but are complex and over the top too.
Working big, I chose to simplify it, but still show a lot of details.
