This pastel drawing was inspired by the first bloom of irises in the spring. Oksana drew depicted here nude female figure from imagination. It looks as if this lady is sprouting from of a purple iris flower. If left alone, iris flowers expand and take over the area. In this drawing, it looks like exactly that is happening. The green life force of iris flowers is beaming from the figure's hands.
