Flowers captivate me because they are fleeting, delicate beauties—a vivid reminder of how quickly time passes and the importance of savoring the present moment. When I sketch an iris, like the one in this piece, I’m drawn to its vibrant purples, splashes of pink, and the way its petals seem to dance with life. Each brushstroke feels like a celebration of its ephemeral nature, a way to preserve its grace and energy before it fades. Sketching irises is my way of pausing time, capturing their essence, and honoring the beauty of the moment.
