Sketches of an Iris, a Sunflower, an Orchid, and a Calla Lily: Please Vote for which to paint!

Edit: Voting is concluded, my next small painting will be #2, the sunflower!  Thanks very much for your input, I hope to have it completed by Tuesday next.


These are my yellow flower themed sketches of the week.  There is an iris, a sunflower, an orchid, and a calla lily.  I would like to paint one of them this week.  If you'd like to vote on which one, just leave a comment as to which you'd prefer and I'll tally the votes on Tuesday at around four, adding up the votes of my blog and facebook page together.  In the event of a tie, or no votes, I'll just draw one out of a hat.  I might do this weekly with different sketches.  I also may use the sketches and paintings based on the sketches posted in other art at different times.  This painting will be a small 5"x7", with some cropping to fit the format, that I will try to complete between Tuesday and the Tuesday next...

The choices are:
1. Yellow Bearded Iris
2. Yellow Sunflower
3. Yellow Orchid
4. Yellow Calla Lily
