FLOWERS ...


Dear readers, this week ‘F’ IS FOR FLOWERS – IN PAINTINGS!
I love flowers, preferably freshly cut and in a vase. Pity they’re ephemeral! Next best, then, have to be flowers depicted for all time in paintings. Here are a few:
1. Andy Warhol, Pittsburgh

2 Judith Leyster, Haarlem

3. Georgia O’Keeffe, Minneapolis
4. Monet, Musée d’Orsay, Paris
5. Manet, Berlin
6. Hokusai, British Library, London
7. Dürer, Washington DC
8. Jan Brueghel The Elder, Bucharest
9. Henri Fantin-Latour, private
10. Van Gogh, Washington DC
FAVOURITE FLOWERS? OTHER FLOWER PAINTINGS YOU KNOW OF?
