El Iris by Alfred Currier

Oil on canvas — impasto. Iris fields in violet-blue dominate the foreground; the composition rises through horizontal zones of yellow, turquoise-green, and rose-red to a deep crimson barn. Snow-dusted evergreens and muted mauve mountains complete the recession. Three small figures in purple stand near the barn — scale markers as much as subjects. Color temperature defines space, not shadow. Oil on canvas. $5,900. International shipping available.
