My last 2 larger Iris paintings was drawn to the more graphic feel (
Purple Iris 12 &
Yellow Iris 3), and I kept the colors down, especially in the background. With this Iris painting I went bigger and with bolder colors. First I went with a calmer greenish background, I liked it, but I thought it was too safe, so a few days later I reworked the background. You can be the judge if I did the right thing, I think I did.
I think the orange is much nicer. I like the turquoise blue you used on your last post too. I like both more than the green, (that's my humble opinion).

Happy Painting and Happy Posting!
I like the orange better too, a little more edge to it.
RaderaThanks for reminding me about Facebook, am forgetting it all the time...
Happy painting
You've got a very special style of painting. Just love it. Mycket bra! :)
SvaraRaderaTack Jana (Thank you Jana).
RaderaSometimes I wish I could paint like those I admire, but in the end I'm glad I paint like me and no-one else. =)

There is definitely a warmer feeling to the painting now, two different moods, I confess I like them both ways.
SvaraRaderaI think that as the artist I see things that others don't. Sometimes one get caught up in details that in the end wouldn't matter for other viewers.
RaderaI like them both too, but I thought the first one didn't give the painting the edge I wanted.
I think you did the right thing with that background. In fact when I saw it I was blown away - looks like warm sunlight in late afternoon. It just sparkles! Makes me excited for springtime - really beautiful Roger.
SvaraRaderaI think so too Karen, glad you agree. =)
Radera... and am glad you like it.
I think you did the right thing -- boy does this painting sing now. Really beautiful! :)
