Romantic Botanicals #44

The Man who Loved Me


Thundershowers all morning.

The irises are blooming 3 on one stem. I captured the pointy sharpness of the leaves, the white of the picket fence and smeared to show the ephemeralness of these flowers that only last a day or two.

before I smeared it out. It seems like the last ten minutes of these paintings is pivotal where I make a change to boost the mood and it makes it or breaks it.
I have had this painting its smeariness and colour scheme on my mind.  Mine I see is cool and this one is warm.
