Blooming Flowers Inspired By the Masters, June 2015

Summer means warm, wonderful weather - including blooming flowers such as daisies, peonies, and irises. Artisan resident artists were inspired by amazing live blooms, along with large colorful photos that included masterpieces by Monet, Van Gogh and O’Keefe. Stories were shared about family flower gardens, and discussion centered around the types of flowers that people liked and planted in their gardens in the past. One flower that was remembered in particular was the hollyhock.

One of our residents drew several large flower pieces, and sat each flower in front of her, one at a time, for each of her drawings. Another was so pleased to take her final artwork back to her room and hang it own the wall with her growing collection of original artwork.
