Purple Iris

Iris with Bee - Iris with Iris bud - Iris with snail

The etchings are Aquatint, Aquaforte and sugar lift, on copperplates, printed on Rives BFK heavyweight acid free Cotton paper. After I handcolored the plate and printed it on paper I enriched the flower with iridescent watercolor. This color includes mica and will give the etching a golden shimmer when exposed to sunlight or a spot light. This effect is not visible online... only if you see them in original.

The Image size are 9x11  available matted 12x16 and 16x20 framed in cherry color wood frame.
