Original artwork description:

Painted on-site at the Trial Gardens of Boerner Botanical Gardens in Hales Corners, WI. Features a close-up view of a cluster of iris flowers of the variety named "Mariposa Wizard". These flowers feature top petals in shades of lavender and white, contrasted by bottom petals in shades of magenta and dark purple. This painting captures the full, highly ruffled nature of the petals, and mimics the natural sparkle of the petals through the use of iridescent paint. The background contains bright spring green, dark green and indigo blue with textured brushstrokes to both complement and contrast with the flowers petals.

This stunning floral piece with a non-traditional composition and fancy colored paints is sure to please for any home or office decor, or as a magnificent gift!

Comes framed in a 3" wide wood frame with a mahogany colored finish which complements the magenta colors in the flowers. May also be purchased unframed.

Materials used:

oil paint, iridescent oil paint, board
