Blue Bearded Iris
Size: ACEO (2.5 X 3.5 inches)
Medium & Support: Watercolor on 140lb Arches
I had once read that the word iris means “rainbow”, it was named after a Greek Goddess who is considered the messenger of love and uses the rainbow to travel. In this painting I have tried to capture the spirit of this beauty...the space and atmosphere around the flower ... and the luminosity and softness of the petals ...
Hope you like it!
