Ember Ruffles, Orange Bearded Iris

A close view of an orange iris with ruffled, veined petals, in front of a blurred background of green, yellow and gray-blue. The surface has a textured, painterly finish. A dark red band at the bottom carries a quotation attributed to Vincent Van Gogh about painting despite self-doubt.

Someone wants this one over the many orange irises because of the glow. The ruffled petals read as warm orange and gold against a soft green and yellow blur, and a canvas-like painterly surface makes the photograph look handmade. It is a flower picture with warmth and texture that does not look like stock floral wall art.
