**************************
This print was originally inspired by the Great Blue Heron that lives in the creek behind my home. He has such a distinct personality that I wanted to capture. Stylistically, “Nouveau Iris” is influenced by the Art Nouveau & Japonism movements of the early 20th century. The iris and the crane (here a blue heron) are two fo the more common natural subjects of japanese art. When discovered by the West, European artists picked up on these themes and re-interpreted them for the western audience.
