Iris : 30” x 40” Acrylic on gallery wrap canvas
painting was inspired by a photo of Stacey Bendet I saw wearing an Iris Apfel skirt and captures a serene poolside scene with warm tones and a touch of whimsy. The background features a large wall with alternating vertical wooden planks in earthy shades of brown and beige. At the center stands a woman dressed in a colorful, floor-length skirt adorned with playful patterns, including what appears to be an illustrated face with glasses. She wears a blue top and sunglasses, adding a relaxed vibe to her stance.
An awning with light yellow and beige stripes hangs above the door behind her, giving the setting a summery, resort-like feel. On either side of the wall, vintage-style lamps add a touch of elegance. The pool at the foreground has calm, teal-colored water, with a small yellow umbrella and a floating rubber duck adding playful, childlike details. Comfortable-looking lounge chairs line each side, enhancing the atmosphere of leisure and relaxation.
