Christabel Iris

SOLD
4" x 6"

This beautiful iris is somewhat popular here in Upstate South Carolina. I have done a little research and believe it is called "Christabel." A couple years ago I made the mistake of planting them temporarily between a rose garden and some shrubbery. Apparently there wasn't enough air circulation, and they are now succumbing to a fungus. I have been battling it for over a year now, and hope that it doesn't wipe out all my irises!

But for now the beauty lives on in this painting. Because I left much of the paper white I scanned it with a black card behind so the edges of the paper can be seen (I did not paint an edge around the painting!). :-)

Hope you enjoy!
