Irises


0.0 x 0.0


28" high x 24" wide oil on canvas "Irises" - I often say that I've never met a plant I didn't like. For many reasons, florals and foliage are one of my favorite subjects to paint. There's no end to the inspiration I get from visiting local gardens or tending my own little patch of earth. At the mere hint of spring I'm out there almost hourly with excruciating anticipation, trying to steal a glimpse of the first buds to emerge. I can imagine that Georgia O'Keefe shares this obsession when painting her intimate portraits of flowers. There are whole worlds inside them if you look closely enough.
