Hafts & falls 1, watercolour on Fabriano 200gm smooth acidfree paper, 46 x 60cm, April 2021, £350

I have proud wild iris’s around the studio, the form of the flowers are so embodying, the curves and containers, sepals and standards, the fuzzy beards, hafts & falls, trying to capture the droops and crests, sweeping, dissolving nature. These flowers hold hope and the word iris originates from the greek for rainbow, which has been a true symbol throughout this world crisis.
