Description
This original watercolour painting on 140lb. quarter sheet developed from a single, live cutting. I don’t like to cut any iris because they don’t have a long life “ in captivity”; however, The Siberian iris variety is much more resilient than its bearded cousin and may last two to three days in a cool (low to mid 60 degrees) environment. This “study” came into BEing as an evening diversion from the stress of building our retirement home. After dinner cleanup, I would retire to the bonus room (which our friends lovingly set up with both an adjustable draftsman table and access to a business desk) for nightly build coordination for me during the nine month stay. As I painted this composition, It inspired the master bedroom Romanesque detailed “fleurs de lis” embossed tile accents which grounded the style with a classic design that appeals to both masculine and feminine tastes in the shower and around the jacuzzi. As with several other
“studies” during that timeframe, it remained at my friend’s home in HER guest bath which she had decorated in lavenders for ME to enjoy during my stay! I get to visit this beauty and remember kindnesses of near a decade ago and wonder,...to where did the time go? Thanks to virtual magic, it is available for your viewing pleasure and/or purchase as well! Actually it might be available for MY iPhone case purchase! CHECK IT OUT!
