NP - Carl Jung's Autobiography

[David Morris]

Yes. Irises are a beautiful example. They are the Fleur de Lis, the emblem
of New Orleans and Florence, and unknown other's. I attach a photo of my
most recent painting. It started as a very free-form fleur de lis, but soon
morphed into the face of a lion or dragon. A fierce creature, but gentle
here in this face.
