Three purple irises with delicate, ruffled petals bloom together against a soft white ground, their stems rendered in fresh green with darker accents. The botanical illustration captures the flowers in varying stages of bloom, from tight buds to fully opened blossoms, with careful attention to the subtle gradations of lavender and deep violet in each petal. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
