Finished Giant Iris Painting

The giant pop art style iris painting is now on its way to Hoyos (a fascinating company that makes iris scanning devices), after being successfully framed and packaged very very well by UPS!
Below is a series of process images – I always love seeing the way other artists create and develop their artworks, and wanted to show this painting’s development. Fun stuff!
You’ll notice some color variation throughout – some of that is the painting process, but some is because I photographed at night vs. daytime.
