AN IRIS FOR THE MASTER ..."If you truly love nature, you will find beauty
everywhere". Van Gogh..............................................................................
This is my abstract expressionism homage to Van Gogh...
Fine art abstract IRIS painting, by Viva Anderson. Painted in memory of my Mother, Ida May, who raised these in the dusty soil of our yard...they were her favourites, now mine.
ORIGINAL ....Sold.
From my archives, with renewed thanks,a treasured comment:::"This is gorgeous, Vivian. I would never think to do a geometric interpretation of flowers but it works. It's quite intricate and the greens pop. The vertical shapes suggest the growth patterns. It's another favorite for me."

This is fantastic :) I love the shades of purple (who knew there were so many??), the lines and the spots of different colours just help emphasise the purples.

Your work masterfully explores the interplay of geometry and vibrant color, creating an energetic rhythm that feels both deliberate and organic. The bold use of purple dominates the composition, creating a sense of depth and mystery, while the splashes of green, yellow, and red provide sharp, electrifying contrasts that guide the eye throughout the piece. The texture and layering add an additional tactile dimension, making the artwork dynamic and engaging. It’s a striking balance of structure and spontaneity, showing your exceptional command of abstract expressionism. Beautifully done! BTW - my wedding dress was purple Egyptian Velvet :)
