'Iris', 'Benton Old Madrid' at Hillside, is a gouache painting on cotton rag paper by Rosanna Morris

Dimensions: 35cm x 26cm

Material: Gouache painting on cotton rag paper, float mounted in a tulip wood and glass frame.

Rosanna’s plant portraits aim to tell the story of a flower, presenting detailed stems against blocks of colour inspired by the hues of gardens and interiors. She is especially drawn to historic tulips and bearded irises for their exquisite movement, shapes, textures, colours, and markings. Rosanna, who is based in Frome, uses gouache and oil and enjoys capturing plants as they stand in the soil as well in the vase, so often spends time observing the subjects in gardens. Her botanical work is admired and collected internationally by floral artists, interior designers, flower growers, and gardeners.
