This miniature painting
uses 23k gold leaf and malachite to enhance the feel of a more
modern piece of art in the technique of the medieval book illuminator.
The particular species of Iris is the I. germanica, or
Bearded German Iris. This flower was used to make a beautiful
green pigment for use in illustrating medieval books. I make this
color from this exact plant.
