From the artist's Yielding collection - This is a painting from Genevieve Leavold's Yielding collection - Paintings exploring the idea of softness as strength - Taking inspiration from the Taoist Philosophy "The softest thing can overcome the hardest" Lao Tsu

These paintings take forms from smoke, fire, water and air - and have the artists characteristic gestural brushwork.

Iris takes inspiration from the artists to favourite flowers, the yellow iris - unlike other Yellow flowers Yellow Iris have a positive meaning, of strength, wisdom and insight.

This piece has a feeling of gentle movement and power to it, like a moment of understanding.

The brushwork is built up in 3 layers, of transparent colour, it has depth and complexity belied by the spontaneity of the brushstrokes.

Your painting will be carefully wrapped and shipped with a certificate of Authenticity from the artist's studio.
