Oil on 11 × 14 stretched canvas.
Painted with a palette knife.
While studying the work of artists from India, I became fascinated by their use of bold color. I had enjoyed painting irises in all sorts of colors, so I decided this was my opportunity to create a variety of my own—in the same shade of red as my lipstick. It's a little gaudy. It's a little loud. Sometimes we need that in life.
