Ember Irises, Orange and Burgundy on Dark Teal

Two irises with ruffled orange and yellow tops and dark red-burgundy lower petals rise on slender green stems. The background is a dark, muted teal-green, and the lower foliage is softly blurred. The whole image has a soft, painterly texture, as if brushed in oils.

Someone wants this one because of the glow. Two ruffled orange-and-yellow irises with wine-red lower petals sit against a dark, cool teal, and the warm colour reads as lit against the dark. It is a flower picture with real colour drama, not a pale, safe floral. The soft, brushed surface keeps it from looking like a botanical record. A homeowner with a settled room and one bare, narrow or vertical wall could picture it there at once.
