second iris today, yet both are individual and different also different presentation. I love irises as we had some in our back garden when I was young, they are a reminder of my dad to me. Beautiful deep colour of the flower backed by the green streaked leaves. Super.

There are many things I love about this image. Love the shape and placement of the flower over the canvas. I think the color is fabulous, the detail amazing. There is a bit of challenge on your photo of the image... letting it slide though cos I know this is a stellar painting. Grand vision. Thanks for sharing. Good Luck!

You have captured the beauty of the iris perfectly with the blending of color creating excellent texture of the petals and leaves.

Cheers Mary

The purple is lusciously strong. It needs a little more definition or outline to be sure the petals each have their day. Also i would have slightly more contrast between petals and leaves. Composition is interesting and unique. The little tongue is a bright center of interest and is well executed.

Honestly it looks like a photograph, it means you made it loon like a real one. And that's why it's a creative work that just turned into an art. Cool attractive and eye catching colors, contrast is striking. overall it's a beauty that bloomed. Well done.

Comment from Life is but a dream.


The upload is out of focus and blurred, BUT, I know your artwork isn't. You might want to re-shoot this and re-upload especially if you have it in a contest.

Green and purple are two colours in nature that make me sigh with calmness...they are quietly present often and overlooked. I am happy to see them in your acrylic.

True to nature your pop of orange works as a focal anchor for our eyes and the flow of the flower, that compositional style is also very strong and gives movement to the whole piece.

The details are present and we can see the texture of the petals of this flower thanks to your ability to draw realistically.

I am sorry to say that I have no suggestions for improvement. I like this the way you have it and the post shows us your skill in your medium and how strong and confident you are in your ability.

    I will try to re-shoot it, but it is currently on display in a gallery. (hope it sells, keep your fingers crossed.)

    thank you for you time, in depth review, all of it is appreciated.
Comment from Mama Mia1


You certainly captured the beauty of this flower. I can see the soft lines in the petals which makes it look velvety. You did a magnificent work of art with this purple coloring and I wish you luck in the contest.

Comment from Ronnie McClune


Brilliant work and a worthy contest entry. At first glance I thought this was a photo. Excellent use of lighting effects and shading. The twists and turns of the petals are so lifelike. Great job - Ronnie
