Iris Triptych-- Birch Boxes

Iris Triptych 8x 8

The 8" x 8" birch boxes became the perfect way for me to  create a beautiful ensemble of  purple iris blooms, as if sharing one garden space. I covered each of the boxes from one sheet of my chartreuse green, marbled paper and created (with other marbled papers)  an array of  leaves, stalks and the rich violet blooms.   This ensemble--small, individual vignettes  melding into one lively visual narrative of  ​lush chroma and pattern.

Skagitt Valley Field

    Tulips come to life, painted on a "peacock" patterned marble paper  of pyrole red, titanium white and dioxine purple. The tulip fields of the Skagitt Valley came to mind as I imagined this collection of red vase-like blooms.
