Bearded Iris Abstract Painting

Abstract Painting of Irises



















I did this acrylic painting for a lady who is a member of the red hat society. The members wear red hats and purple dresses so red and purple are prominent colors in the painting.
She's a free spirit so I wanted the painting to echo her personality and interests.

  6. I don't know how I managed to miss your last few posts, but they are all well done! Nice line drawing of the helicopters, and I love the cutout Chef! But this painting is simply fabulous. Beautiful color and I love that you've chosen them based on the person for whom you painted it.
