Irises

Part of a series inspired by special places; this painting explores the essence of nature and the beauty of the garden in early spring. It is more than what the eye can see, it is the layers of our reality and how we respond, the intensity and variety of the greens, the birdsong in the trees, the soft spring light, the changing shadows, the freshness of the air, the promise of life and the peace and tranquility of the garden in spring.
