I’ve got flu. No kidding. I thought it was just a cold, but HECK NO…
So I’m sharing some paintings – I have hundreds of works of art saved on my computer and on my phone. I may as well share them with you, right?
Matisse – Safrano Roses at the Window
Gustave de Smet – Nature Morte aux Anemones
Mabel Royds – Honeysuckle
Kees Van Dongen – Bouquet de Fleurs
Bruno Liljefors – Winter Landscape with Bullfinches
George Randolph Barse – Trees on Capri
Cedric Morris – Iris Seedlings
Arthur Streeton – Liles and Bells
Luigi Russolu – Landscape at the First Rays of Sun
Shiro Kasamatsu – Rainy Evening at Shinobazu Pond
I have a favorite; it changes every ten minutes…
love,
Janice
So sorry to learn that you have flu. Rest up, drink plenty and hope you feel better soon. Last time, I had flu, I was in bed for a week. In the meantime, we”ll enjoy the art and tidy our wardrobes. 💐 X
Oh, Janice! I am so sorry you have the flu. I hope you feel much better soon! Rest and fluids…fluids and rest.
That being said, I am DIGGING these paintings. All of them are magnificent and you have taught me how to look deeply into the color palette and separate the ones that speak to me. I must say, being the color magpie that I am, the Matisse window and the Morris seedlings are drawing me in. I also love Mabel Royds’ Honeysuckle. I have never heard of her or seen her work, but I’d like to know more!
Thank you for creating our virtual museum tour!
One of the best things about Instagram is finding artists about whom I knew NOTHING, and growing to admire their work. The internet isn’t an entirely cold and evil wasteland!
love,
Janice
Hope you feel better soon.
I want wardrobes from Trees on Capri and Shinobazu Pond, or to be honest, any of the above!
Thanks for bringing more beauty into our lives.
Take care of yourself and wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks for all the artworks. I think that Bouquet des Fleurs would make a lovely scarf.
Hope you feel better soon! This has been a rotten year for flu. The Matisse makes me smile as soon as I see it. I also like the Liljefors. They are so different from each other.
Janice, so sorry you are sick. Ugh. Hope you feel much better very soon. Ann
Sorry you are sick Janice! The flu is going around my house too. I hope you feel better soon. I’m loving that Matisse painting.
