Irises by NYC-trained artist Jospehine Meyer after Vincent van Gogh. The original was painted in 1889 while van Gogh was a patient at the Saint-Paul asylum in Saint-Rémy, France. The work is considered a study in color and contrast.

A lot of my followers always ask where some of my architectural elements in my roomboxes come from. This particular wall column that I used between each window in my NYC SoHo Loft came from Wendy, the owner of Unique Miniatures, makes the best castings!
