This Iris was not an intentional painting of a flower! I decided to choose 5 colors, define some shapes and fill in the colors, add some line, etc.
What emerged was this Iris as clear as day on the Canvas just there in full bloom. I didnt even see it at first I was focused on the shapes, colors and composition, the balance of the piece. I turned it a few times in different directions to see what was there and then on one of the turns …there it was this Iris right there on the canvas like I had pain stakingly looked at an Iris in a vase and painted it, but I had not. How does that happen? That is the mystery of Art!
