Houston Fine Art Press commissioned the prints, produced, printed, and published them. They did not share the editions with the artist. 

Fritz drew them by tearing off some thick corrugated cardboard that the Press had, dipping it into the drawing medium, and using the edge of the cardboard, with its corrugated tubes holding the liquid medium (a process called “capillary action”), to draw the lines. He painted the other colors with brushes.

He drew the images from life.

They conceived the prints to be as close to paintings as possible.Houston Fine Art Press had paper for these images custom-made by hand at a mill outside of Paris, Moulin de Larrogue, Paris, white handmade paper, deckle on all sides . They have never done that for any other artist. There are 4 works in the series: Iris, Rose, Lily and Tulip.  These works can be purchased separately or in a set. - HFAP
