Great, Great Grandma's Flaggs, 1996, 5"x 7", hand watercolored laser print from an original pencil drawing. The title of this print is simple and descriptive. While on a genealogy trip in the back hills of Kentucky, I found the grave of my Great, Great Grandmother. She was of German descent and was married to a potato famine Irishman. Although it is not known when her people came to America, it is known that she was the Great Granddaughter of a man who fought for the colonies during the American Revolution. At my Great, Great Grandmother's grave-site there was an abundance of iris tubers, a few of which I've transplanted to my Indiana home. They blossom every Spring and send forth a fragrance that rivals any fine perfume. This artwork is of some of those blossoms.
