Spring, According to Otis Dozier — 1937
Otis Dozier’s purple iris (click for much larger image)
by Paula Bosse
My birthday is in March, and I always associate this time of year with irises, because the irises around our house would start to bloom in time for my birthday. There’s no better way to celebrate a (belated) start to Spring than by sharing this beautiful watercolor from Otis Dozier: “Iris (purple) April,” 1937.
