Cobalt Iris - Original Palette Knife painting by Nithya Swaminathan

This original painting is a part of my ongoing series of Irises, all done only with the palette knife. I love irises, and find that the knife is a fantastic tool to bring out the structure of the flower in detail. I like the effect of the veins that are created by the knife.
