Bearded Irises

Another absolutely superb painting Julian. However, be grateful for rain -- we are in our twelfth year of drought In Melbourne, Australia and save every drop of precious water.

Magnificent.

Those purples actually look as velvety as the flower. Lovely rendering and light.

Beautiful! Iris Padilla?

Oh, how I wish I could afford such beauty!

Iris - messenger of the Gods - royal purple spring joy;

Thanks Julian - made my morning !

I like the feeling of cut-out between the flowers creating abstract geometric spaces.
