Description
I painted this corner with irises after a summer rain. I found their purple color very bright, like a homage to the nature. I have irises in my garden planted by my Grandmother, but I love them more since I knew their legend. In Greek mythology, Iris was the goddess of the rainbow and a messenger for Zeus and Hera, and many believe that the flower is named after her. She carried messages from heaven to earth on the arc of the rainbow, and was a companion to female souls on the way to heaven. To this day, Greeks plant purple irises on women’s graves so that Iris will guide them to their resting place in heaven.
