Iris are in bloom. I planted three hundred plants two years ago and they are finally having a show. So I had to paint them. This is one of several that will be showing in the next few weeks.
The whole piece is the top image and the right side detail is down below. I've discovered I love color and pattern. I've always loved Matisse's work. And have been working through various phases of his body of work. I have been finding inspiration for my own work for years. He was the leader in combining bright colors, pattern, flat surfaces and paper cut-outs all of which I love and try to incorporate. This painting is a combination of nineteen different painted patterns on paper which I have cut out in the shape of irises. I'm excited!
This painting is not yet on my website but will be up soon. Dimensions are H21" x W60".
Absolutely beautiful and stunning! Iris was one of my dad's favorite flowers. Wow, three hundred plants, that's a lot of planting.:) They should be multiplying beautifully. You have beautiful talent.
