| Mama's Purple Irises, 2021, Oil on Panel, 8" x 8" |
My mother loved purple, anything purple. The above painted irises are the descendants of her mother's many varieties of which my mother continued to propagate. The purple were her favorite, and she sent me home to Massachusetts with a suitcase full of rhizomes dug out of her Arkansas garden. Among the many that made the trip, I was lucky enough to have these purple.
