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.
May all your wishes come true, trust you have a wonderful trip to Mali. Just wondered if everything goes as you wish maybe it will become a 'weekly blog' a painting a week! It's amazing how you have no time once a baby comes along....... the iris are beautiful
A very beautiful and powerful painting Julian. I especially like the way you've painted the glass. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers.

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!
