Description

A beautiful feminine oil painting of a purple iris flower. The flowing shapes of the petals dance like the movement of a dress.

This iris flower was painted as a commission, using the clients favourite colours. It’s the second time I’ve painted this iris flower, this time I brought the flower into fruition keeping it’s original background setting.

I enjoyed painting this again because it gave me the opportunity to fine tune the technique, as I was already familiar with the shapes and what the painting would require from me – so I could play a little more with it.

I took a bunch of photos of this flower in my friends garden and used one as reference to paint from. I was able to zoom into the photo and see all the veins, which I have added in.
