March 11, 2015

“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
