Indigo Iris

7x11 alcohol inks on Yupo medium weight synthetic paper done this afternoon as I was in an iris mood.  They're blooming everywhere you look.  With this floral abstraction I've used three colors of ink:  Indigo, Eggplant, and Watermelon.  Canned air was used to blow the ink from the bottom up and the white of the paper is its only background for simplicity.
