REVERENCE

"Reverence" is a painting of a purple, bearded iris employing the stan-dards as the window through which the viewer may see an ethereal mountain with a Van Gogh-like sky swirling with agate-like aquamarine and tur-quoise, and whipped clouds. This painting was inspired by one of the artist?s favorite flowers after a stay in the Southwest, hence the accompanying sagebrush, russet and saddle-red hills of the Four Corners area.
