Chelsea Dame has been inspired by a wonderful artist friend who made a pilgrimage to the Chelsea Flower Show in England and kindly shared her experience through an amazing series of beautiful photographs.
This gorgeous, flamboyant Iris reminded me so much of a 'Folies Bergere' dancer I just had to paint it to capture so much movement of form and the wonderful petal shapes.
Look closely and you can see the dancers' shapely legs below a billowing coral coloured 'Folies Bergere' costume.
