Floral Painting of an Iris, Striped, by Canadian Painter Kim Blair

Striped
 10x8 oil on canvas

Where is spring?  Sure the sun is shining, and the snow shadows are wonderful shades of lavender/blue... but it stops there.  I feel like I live in "Whoville" from The Grinch Stole Christmas.  

In order to change my 'Whoville' train of thought I grabbed my brush and painted an Iris, or at least a section of an Iris... I like the way our mind 'fills' in the section not rendered.  I am working on some different perspectives of flowers,  and this one is a small version of a larger work I am contemplating.  Floral paintings really speak to me, and are a large part of who I am as an artist...  so I have a few ideas up my sleeve regarding some different perspectives and variation of canvas shape/sizes, which is all tied into my foray into abstraction, or semi-abstraction.
