The Iris — Fine Art

The Iris shows a single upright flower with a long stem and a pointed bud at the top. Blue petals spread outward from a yellow centre. Thick blue and green strokes build the leaves and the soil. Vincent van Gogh worked with paint applied quickly and heavily.

The fine art print sits on a pale wall near a chair. A dark frame beside wooden furniture follows the room. The matte paper keeps the blue tones even when light falls across it.

It fits above a kitchen counter. From the doorway you notice the yellow centre first, then the blue leaves against the painted ground.
