It was painted before his first attack at the asylum . There is a lack of the high tension which is seen in his later works . He called the painting '' the lightning conductor for my illness '' because he felt that he could keep himself from going insane by continuing to paint .

The similarities occur with strong outlines , unusual angles , including close - up views , and also flattish local colour ( not modelled according to the fall of light ) .

He wrote to Vincent of the exhibition : '' ( It ) strikes the eye from afar . The Irises are a beautiful study full of air and life . '' - Oil painting is the process of painting with pigments with a medium of drying oil as the binder. Commonly used drying oils include linseed oil, poppy seed oil, walnut oil, and safflower oil. The choice of oil imparts a range of properties to the oil paint, such as the amount of yellowing or drying time. Certain differences, depending on the oil, are also visible in the sheen of the paints. An artist might use several different oils in the same painting depending on specific pigments and effects desired. The paints themselves also develop a particular consistency depending on the medium. The oil may be boiled with a resin, such as pine resin or frankincense, to create a varnish prized for its body and gloss.
