Van Gogh’s Iris • Timed Edition Fine Art Print

On October 31, 2024 we visited the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. I couldn’t stop staring at Van Gogh’s still life of irises. I just loved it. It was as if I was gazing at my life in a painting. The colors, the subject matter, the composition. There is such a simplicity to it at first glance, and yet, like the petals of the irises you could get lost in the details forever.

This past April we had a lovely iris filled picnic at Saint-Paul de Mausole in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence where Van Gogh lived and was treated for his mental condition while he painted some of his most iconic works that changed the landscape of art history forever. Provence is a humble place. It’s not rich in money but it’s wildly rich in nature and that is something in which Van Gogh not only celebrated but immortalized. It’s such a reminder that nature is worth protecting, not for profit, but for the beauty of life that we are so fortunate enough to experience.

I am obsessed with irises now after living in France. They are up there with strawberries now as forever being tied to France and her splendor. The scent of the iris even inspired our newest candle release for 2026 which took over a year to just get the perfume balance just right. I shoot irises every spring in this way or another but for some reason I never thought about recreating in photographic form that Van Gogh put brush to canvas with over 136 years ago on this same spot on earth.

I looked across the asylum’s iris field and wondered where I’d obtain enough flowers to create such a still life, and then the answer presented itself. On my route over the mountain of Bonnieux from Apt to Cucuron to work at my print shop on some fine art photographs, I passed wild irises growing up the hill sides and down the valley. I always travel with clippers in the car and foraged a small bouquet, not too many to be noticeably absent from the landscape, and brought them back to the studio.

The scent was intoxicating. It filled the entire space and was a dream to float through. The linen I pulled from my studio wardrobe was one of the first swatches of fabrics I bought in Provence when creating still life art became part of my creative renaissance. The photograph, like many of my still life works, is created from multiple photographic plates and stitched together in post production into the final composition in my mind. The irises along the left side of the vase are actually the same flowers that are dripping down the right side… And if you look close enough, you’ll see a little green spider that came along on this adventure. Let’s just call him Vincent.

I do hope one day you can make it to Provence, but if not, let these irises that symbolize this terrain’s natural beauty, her centuries of inspiration for artists, and the wonder of France keep you dreaming all the days long.
