Artist Statement
This is “Irises”, a favorite of mine. She makes me smile every time I see her. This painting was easily crafted with acrylic paint, pushed through and over a brushed background of up to 10 layers of paint and gel medium. When I look at this painting I immediately feel the heat of the sun and the cool wet soil on my knees, just as years ago when I thinned out these beautiful, bountiful plants.
Being an avid gardener in the past, I’m now a painter of what I loved. And as a gardener, it was never enough to show someone just the flower. They were invited to sit and stay awhile, taking in the ambiance. The purpose of abstracting this painting is to include the place, the aura. Hopefully the viewer will not only see the flowers but also feel the day, smell the earth and want to stay awhile
