This is a card for my sister-in-law Susan who is recovering from surgery. I wanted to do one that is cheerful, sweet and feminine like her.
I loosely copied the catalog cover from Schreiner's Iris Gardens in Oregon...a gorgeous place to visit about now I think.
This is similar to their newly released Iris that they developed for 2010...a bit pricey as yet until they grow more...only $75.00 per seedling/rhizome.
The name of it is ''TWILIGHT RAPTURE''...:)
This little card does not do justice to the beauty of this new Iris.

About Me
- Louise
- GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN, United States
- An avid lover of nature, I studied many areas of flora and fauna, particularly trees and plants(flowers)....Dendrology and Botany. As a child I spent many hours hiking in the hills of our ranch and the forests of the area, along with exploring the meadows, rivers, creeks and lakes of the area. I have been drawing and painting since childhood and minored in art in college.I have taken classes and workshops through the years. Recently I have taken Online classes from Cathy Johnson. Since retirement I have dedicated myself to painting and drawing...mostly in my favorite mediums, watercolor and pen & ink. Some of my work has been featured in books and brochures and also used as Mixed Media examples in school classrooms. I have recently begun selling my paintings, after years of gifting my art to family and friends. Currently I am selling some of my work on Ebay, ...(periodically). I am very active on Flickr and some of my art can be seen there at: www.flickr.com/photos/27259847@N00 © Louise Christian, All rights reserved.
