Beguiling Iris
Again exploring source material in relation to degrees of abstraction. Iris reticulata has a particular resonance of blue and yellow which provides a start point. A branching form is also trialled. Patrick Heron produced a series of 'abstracted flower paintings hwichn are visually exciting - See Research Section
Background olive green incorporating dull purple/red
Observations - (own reflections plus discussion with PW)
Not really successful on several fronts:
- main difficulty opaque quality of background which is heavy and lacks the liveliness of much recent work
- lack of interaction between ground and form
- simplistic composition
Possibilty of reworking ground and loosening composition
