Artist Statement This picture was inspired by a silly comment I overheard at a party - a man made a comment about the painting of the purple spring flowers and another man cupped his hands around his eyes like goggles , referring to his eyes ... and I thought: Irises!. I squinted for days at Vincent's self portrait to get every stroke right, and by focusing so closely, I was able to capture something of the original's intensity.
