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

Hi Lola and Nora,
Loving all the beautiful flower paintings you have shared.
Monet's water lilies has always been a favourite.
Happy week and thanks for visiting me

I'm a fan of O'Keeffe's flower paintings, they're gorgeous. Also Van Gogh's sunflower paintings as well.
Isn't it interesting to see how flowers can be interpreted so differently by painters. I always love to look at the Impressionist flower themed paintings. Van Gogh and Monet captured their beauty pefectly.
Oh My Goodness! You share many of my favorite artists here! So fabulous and fun! I always enjoy visiting you here. Have a fun filled weekend and be fancy free! These images are fantastic! Hugs Anne

Hi Nora, you've got good taste! I like your "F" pictures. Van Gogh is probably my favorite. We stayed in St. Remi in 2005 and almost camped out in his olive tree orchard.
Monet is high on my list. We visited both Giverny and the Musée d’Orsay in 2009. That year was BIG, from Barcelona to LaHarve and wonderful in between.
I like Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec probably second but I don't remember any flower paintings of note by him. We also visited the Lautrec Museum in Albi (France) in 2009.

Beautiful! I think the Manet is my favorite - that vase is exquisite.
Wow those are beautiful!

Flowers are wonderful, as no two in nature are absolutely alike. So why should two artists interpret the flora exactly the same as well? These are all beautiful expressions, the artist just knows how to paint each one in that style to always catches our eye and admiration too...
Beautiful paintings!
