This is part of the magic that unfolds when a painting becomes part of your wall space. A painting can transform a room, change the mood and create a connection to beauty. Who doesn't want more of that?

In this small, colorful oil painting the artful nature of purple iris come to life. With a close and intimate perspective this scene brings the viewer to a ground level and the sense of being immersed in a field of flowers. The radiant blue sky hovers over head as the palette of violet, purple, blue and orange capture our attention.

The paintings distinctive style emerges from the simply cast shapes that become filled with passionate color and lively brushwork.

Inspiration for this painting of iris came from my love for flowers and observing a small field of purple iris while I was on a walk. I could imagine laying in the field and just letting myself feel the ground beneath me as I gazed up surrounded by the soothing nature of the cool palette of colors.

This is painted on a gallery wrapped canvas and is a signed original painting. The artwork can be hung framed or unframed. less
