'Purple Rain' is a special iris with almost noble status, having been associated with royalty throughout history - especially in France. Purple is a powerful color because of the most powerful visible wavelength of all the colors in the rainbow. Perhaps that is why she stands for transformation, but also for trust.

‘Purple Rain' is part of the series 'Botanical Story' painted en plein air. Wherever I go flowers will always catch my eye. I can travel the world see mesmerizing landscapes and even then a little flower will call my attention. It might be genetic because my great-grandfather and his ancestors were bulb growers. Flowers show me zest for live with their bright colored petals. This series Botanical Story is a little tribute to each of them. Some stay close to their looks others are a bit more abstracted. What they all have in common is that they deserve a portrait of their own.
