A Floral Abundance

Primulas, peonies, petunias,
polyanthus and plenty other
flowers have been painted 
by artists for many a year.
In Vincent van Gogh's work 
a lot of sunflowers appear
while water lilies abound  
in Claude Monet's canvas.
But these two masters are 
not the only ones around.
 
Although we are all thrilled
by these masterpieces
floral depictions galore
have also been produced, 
in oil or water colour,
by artists less celebrated
but equally skilled.
Winifred Nicholson's
delicate illustrations
of mughetti (lily of the 
valley) come to mind.

Hi Luigi,

Dear Jenny, thanks for being my first early reader. Nature in general and flowers in particular have always been the source of inspiration for talented artists, writers and poets. We are the lucky recipients of their creations and some of us try to follow in their footsteps, to the best of our ability.

Luigi xx
