Summer Iris Garden 14″ x11″ Oil on canvas – $675
in summer
between the waves of heat
cool dirt upon my toes
digging in the garden
flowers flourish
as dancing swabs of color
woven baskets
and ribbons of children
pasting petals on paper
joy is crafting moonlight
memories for stillness
in a twilight landscape
Summer Iris Garden is a small, intimate still life inspired by time spent in the garden at the height of summer. Irises gather in soft movement, their forms shifting between structure and looseness, like color held briefly in motion. The palette leans into warmth and earth—heat in the air, coolness just beneath the surface.
There’s a sense of memory here—of hands in soil, of simple rituals, of moments that pass gently but remain.
This painting was created on a gallery wrapped canvas in oils and is a signed original.
