Iris’s work is wooow…God works and speaks in different languages and ways. He might be reaching out to us through this little cutie “Iris”. I love her work…awesome.
it doesn’t look chaotic at all, to me.. because the colors she used are light and soothing to the eyes and that if you stare on it, it looks like a garden full of different flowers, the light blue streaked painting looks like calm waters, you know.. it’s amazing to know that a 3-year old kid can paint this way.. and for me, i think she perceives her surroundings as if she’s in the middle of a field filled with colorful flowers and the sky is that blue and everything is calm as if there is no negative stuff happening around her.. i suddenly remembered seeing that style of painting in the cover of some book entitled, “The Secret Garden”.. i like her work..
These paintings transmit peace. God Bless you Iris xxxx
Love the colors she uses. Reminds me of a rainy day-soothing and comforting!
Oh, I would not say they are chaotic at all. They are definitely not chaotic to me. They remind me of the movement of atoms and of star constellations. The connection between the different colors is amazing. I can not express how wonderful I feel while looking at them. I truly hope that she can see all those beautiful colors in everything in this grey world. I wish I could.
Please receive my blessings and gratitude.
Best regards,
Tanja
