Another cold snowy day here in the north...
Sumptuous opaque passages of oil paint applied with my palette knife, (say that with crackers in your mouth!) create swirls and ridges of peach ice. As the knife cuts into the paint it traces patterns, evoking the veining found in a delicate iris bloom and the folds of soft petals tightly wound into ruffled cones sitting in green sleeves. Intricate details drawn with the edge of a knife and bristles of a brush.

My last creamy Iris for a while...
