Irises in a Vase
40cm x 80cm, oil on linen I am away in Mali for two weeks, in the meantime I hope you enjoy this first taste of Spring, and may I wish everyone a peaceful Easter away from the banking crisis, unseasonal weather and chocolate fatigue.Posted on

Very nice. This reminds me of when I was a very little girl. My mother had lovely irises growing next to the house. I was always fascinated by the complex flower. Thank you.

May your exploratory visit be pleasing and pleasurable in every way. I'll be thinking of you, both of you, and I take it that "exploratory" means that a beautiful Mali baby might be in the offing?? Gorgeous painting -- and I, too, love the vase! Ciao, chers amis. Ernesto has his biopsy tomorrow.

When I opened your site the fragrance from the iris filled my office. You truly captured the velvet texture of the petals as well. I have no words to discribe the vase other than "perfect" balance for the long stem showing. The paring of the aqua glass with the purple of the flower is like a kiss. Thank you for the rush!
