It was a beautiful deep purple iris that was shifting around in the breeze, was a gorgeous warm sunny day. I knew I wanted to paint this flower as soon as I saw it! My technique was a bit different with this piece, it was mostly painted in one day and finished the second day after adding a lot more color to the iris flower. I used a lot more medium with this one, the paint was applied very thinly. I am very proud of it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"766\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cheekwoodiris-766x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"286\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cheekwoodiris-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/oil-painting\/cheekwood-iris\/attachment\/cheekwoodiris\/\" class=\"wp-image-286\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cheekwoodiris-766x1024.jpg 766w, http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cheekwoodiris-224x300.jpg 224w, http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cheekwoodiris-768x1027.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cheekwoodiris-1149x1536.jpg 1149w, http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cheekwoodiris-1531x2048.jpg 1531w, http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cheekwoodiris-1568x2097.jpg 1568w, http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cheekwoodiris-scaled.jpg 1914w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" src=\"http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2926.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"271\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=271\" class=\"wp-image-271\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2926.jpg 400w, http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2926-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This 12&#8243; x 16&#8243; oil on canvas was painted from a photograph I took on my birthday at Cheekwood Botanic Gardens in Nashville, TN.
