Can you guess the artist? This might be an easy one for some of you. Another gorgeous painting I snapped a photo of with my phone - on display at the Detroit Institute of Arts! I highly recommend visiting – wear comfy shoes – no need to pack a lunch they have great eating places within the museum. So smart. They even have these cool stools that fold if you get tired and need to sit a minute. We walked for hours and hours. Had the best time. #cantwaittogoback

Spectacular painting. I adore the colors and the bright gold/yellow of the flower against the background and the leaves. Wow. Dramatic with a capital “D” for sure. I would say moody and dramatic, yet colorful and utter perfection.

This painting was so different from the paintings around it. Calmer, but with so much interest. Absolutely incredible and hard to look away from. The stillness of the water and their intense gazes upon whoever may be next to them, wow.
