“Art in Bloom” is an annual event at the St. Louis Art Museum (and also various other locations in the country). This year the event featured 35 floral interpretations of paintings or other works of art through out the Museum’s collection. I had an enjoyable afternoon admiring beautiful works of art! It was incredible to see the colorful and imaginative floral creations along with how it complimented the art piece.

Last and least is my own inspiration , not available at the Art Museum, but only for viewings in my home……
“Honfleur Harbor in Harmony” print by Elizabeth Horowitz
Hyacinths lovingly hand picked from my son’s yard without permission and arranged in my Grand-Grandmother’s cut glass pitcher.
The lobby of the Art Museum was overtaken by beautifully arranged flowers and the scent of spring for the event.
Hope you enjoyed my favorites. If you are interested in the official winners, go to: http://www.slam.org/news/?p=2626
