Artwork Description

The Micro Iris is inspired by iris grown in my own garden. The piece is contemporary realism and highly detailed. The colours are rich and vibrant. The iris is painted on high quality thick watercolour parchment. Sold unframed which allows for economical postage. The A3 standard size means that a ready made frame and matt is easily obtainable.
