Iris is a very amazing young girl and shows so much beauty in her painting keep painting princess there all beautiful
Iris is an amazing child, her paintings make me feel relaxed and serene. I look forward to seeing many more of them in the USA. God bless you for being so perceptive and providing her with paints to express herself.
wow! i’m so amazed… looking at the paintings and considering she is three… being a mum, i can imagine it’s the same as any three year old, they talk and talk and talk and it makes me smile when i read that her paintings are more chaotic cos i can just imagine what is going on in that little mind! ahhhh bless!
Wow! what a gift! She is one of the few special & unique creation of God. Her mother should be proud! Please take good care of her and you should be commended for finding her talent and letting it out. many parents lack this. Please give her a hug and a kiss & showed her in the map that this kiss and hug comes from a mother who lived in Ethiopia! She is really incredible!!!
Beautiful, just beautiful. I can see calm, chaos, tranquility & peace. I could go on, but I’d rather say that each painting reflects her feelings and whatever she is trying to communicate. Whatever her thought process is when she makes each stroke creates some of the most wonderfully beautiful pieces of art. Thank you Iris. I will look forward to the next paintings, and all that follow.
