Painting of blue and white irises with long green leaves growing over reddish soil, with dense brushwork.

Irises

A dense garden of blue and white irises fills the canvas, their sword-like green leaves arching across the lower half over reddish-brown soil. Thick, directional brushstrokes in blues, greens and yellows build the flowers and background with vivid texture.
