These are so beautiful. She is truly amazing. What wonderful joy she must have in her heart to paint like this.
I wonder if she would love Monet’s home at Giverny? It is such an inspiring place.
Iris would love it, water, flowers…her heaven.
Iris’s paintings are phenomenal! I also am the mother of a daughter with autism, and art is her outlet as well. I am very much going to purchase one of these paintings, Iris is very gifted. and has an unspoiled view of the world around her, her world is beautiful!!!
God Bless You Iris! You have a gift. May it bless you the rest of your life. Your works are beautiful. If one of your paintings was at the Art Institute of Chicago, it would be an honor!! Never stop…..
Amazing and lovely art by such an innocent, precious child. I’m very favorably impressed. Sincere thanks to her parents for sharing her talent with the world via the internet.
