Iris Shapes

This is the last art work for a while (work beckons) and is a continuation of last week's update however with a more abstract slant.  Rather than trying to paint individual irises, my interest turned more towards shape and pattern as it has done in other art work I have produced.  I've never really worked with watercolour, so it was a bit of an experiment.  Oil painting is quite solid and gives quite a different outcome compared to watercolour paint.  Oils also take a long time to dry, whereas watercolours dry very fast so the whole artist experience is quite different.
