Old Fashioned Iris
Old Fashioned Iris... carbon pencil and graphite on paper, 6x5, prints available, double matted
This is the companion drawing for "Dutch Iris".
The Story Behind the Image: The tubers for this iris were actually given to me by my grandmother when I was first married. I have moved them many times over the years and given many starts to friends. It is a spindly little thing...getting lost easily in the garden. But for me it's beauty is in the special memories that come to mind every season when it blooms.
I took the photo reference early one morning after a spring shower. You can see the droplets of water still on the petals.
The drawing Old Fashioned Iris is on cream toned fine art paper and presented in a double mat. It is also offered in two sizes of Open Edition Prints...check my Portfolio for availability of the Original and prices.
