Write about O'keefe painting using Elements and Principles of design

The first elements that catches my eye is the analogous color scheme. I chose yellow, yellow orange, and orange to change the value, compared to what O'keefe had used in her painting. The next element  would be the organic shape of the iris petal. This shape appears to be flat and open, similar to a flower petal in nature.
The first principle of design I see would have to be the large sized iris petal engulfing the canvas. The petals balance could be symmetrical or informal because the viewer does not know if the petal is connected to the flower or plucked.
