Iris at Sea 1994

Jamie Wyeth's 1994 painting "Iris at Sea" features a vibrant purple iris in the foreground, its leaves and petals reaching toward the sky. The iris is positioned against a white, weathered lighthouse, its black lantern room perched atop a cylindrical tower. The setting, a clear blue sky, evokes a sense of tranquility, perhaps the sea, echoing the title and highlighting the artist's interest in capturing the beauty of the natural world. Wyeth is known for his realistic style, and this painting displays his signature attention to detail.
