Sympathies to Ruth, I'd surely feel upset too..but we are the beneficiaries. The surface of the vase is beautiful.

the vase looks so breakable, almost mother of pearl. Naturally the Irises are gorgeous, I've many varieties, but nothing blooming yet!

Beautiful high contrast with such delicate nuance in the vase. So sorry about the iris bed, but so happy about the painting.

This still life is different than the others I have seen. Much less dramatic contrast in light and dark. Very light in feeling. I like it!

Despite the punch of the purple iris petals, the vase alsmost seems to float on the surface of the image. It is magical as is the return of spring, flowers and trees.

I love the highlight on the white vase, and the boldness of the flowers contrasted with their pale surroundings.

I said magical in my comment, but ethereal was the word I was really seeking.

What a beautiful result of the damage--lemons to lemonade. And I wish you much joy with your new little one. Many warm wishes, Naomi
