Lavender Ruffles - Painterly Purple Iris
A large purple iris is seen up close, its ruffled lavender petals curling over a yellow beard and white-streaked plum lower petals. Behind it, a soft green background is dotted with blurred orange and pink flowers. A white script quote by Billie Jean King is placed in the lower right, with a small artist signature below it.
A close, ruffled purple iris with a fuzzy yellow beard and white-veined plum falls, given a painterly, oil-paint surface. Many iris prints are flat, fully sharp documentary shots. This one reads like a painting, and the veining pulls the eye inward to the yellow beard. It suits someone who wants a bold flower with real colour (purple, plum, lavender, green) and a soft, impressionistic mood, not a botanical illustration. The overlaid white script quote adds a second reason for buyers who want words in the piece, and it is something to flag for those who don't.
