Lovely Old Oil on Canvas Iris Painting sesame street 7 3/8" across at handles

7 3/8" across at handles

because I can never leave behind a matte green vessel

I'm not quite sure the origins of this figure

It was painted in oil on cloth (not canvas)

and another from the Huntington Museum

Lovely Old Oil on Canvas Iris Painting sesame street 7 3/8" across at handlesJust in time for spring, and so pretty I think, plus the very existence of irises always kind of amazes me. I love the abundance of spiky dark green leaves here too. Just right. Oil on unstretched canvas, 14" x 9", earlyish 20th c. I would guess. A bit of old creasing along the left edge but lies flat now and is overall in very good condition; could be framed or just pinned or clipped by the corners to the wall.
