Vincent's Blue Irises (2020) Original Acrylic Painting by Joseph Villanueva

An impressionistic painting of Blue Irises inspired by the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh's famous "Irises". It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris.
I have used a drawing method of scratching back to reveal complementary red, orange and yellow undertones in the background paint layers. Thick acrylic paint is used to achieve the textures showing the history of the paint application and mark making; the way you can see through to the under painting where I have scratched creates an overlapping pattern with a beautiful rhythm of colors and textures.
