Yellow Iris II

5x7 acrylic on canvasboard
collection of Katie Gresham
Revisiting my yellow irises... really searching for subtlety this time, for blues and greys and softness. Its so easy for me to get swept away in intense color, intense sunlight, but sometimes other things can get lost in all of that... I dunno, but I really think toning down some of the usual *flower!* elements helped this one to be more about the way irises look so delicate and voluptuous at the same time, the wonderful petals and curves and fragility. I hope so :)
