This was my favorite. First of all, I loved the pastoral feel of the painting. Then I thought the florist’s use of potatoes and other vegetables was a really creative interpretation.

Every February, the Art Museum at the University of Kentucky does its major fundraiser called Art in Bloom. It is a great undertaking that involves local professional and amateur floral designers selecting art from the museum. They then interpret the paintings with flowers.
In addition to hosting two evening galas, the museum is open during the day so that the public can have the opportunity to enjoy the show. I am sorry that I cannot give the artists or floral designers credit, but I wanted to share some of the creations with you. I hope you enjoy them.
This black and white mid-century painting was recreated with shades of black and white flowers.
The blushing pink of this arrangement captures the essence of the painting.
Wow! What a pop of color!
This horizontal painting earned a horizontal floral companion.
And this linear painting was accompanied by a linear design.
The somber lady in the portrait was accompanied by deep-colored flowers.
I love the plateau effect of the flowers here.
Reds and yellows get your attention.
I hope you enjoyed coming to the museum with me.
Take care.
