French Iris


These are real French Iris, that is, I found them in France. They were growing along a wall in Burgundy and reminded me of a Van Gogh painting I had seen somewhere. They actually look bluer in this photo than I painted them. I just can't get the right colors which are more lavender and purple. I haven't mastered the photo editing "thing" yet.

  2. The painting part can be difficult enough, but then when we can't manipulate the colors on the computer, it's a real pain. I, too, love the color palette.

  3. Beautiful iris, Sue, think this is the first floral I have seen of yours! The yellow background is the perfect contrast for these beauties.
