Purple Iris or an Elephant?


Last week 2 other artists and myself tried having our own workshop via internet while we stayed in our own studios. It was a great 3 days of painting with lessons learned all around. This is from my 3rd day at the easel. I was happy with this until my daughter came into my studio, tilted her head to the side and asked "Why did you paint an elephant?". Ugh. This painting was completed from a photo reference from my front yard of what I thought to be a stunning close-up of a purple iris. It makes TOTAL sense to me, but I guess sometimes beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder.
