The Spring "Arts and Flowers" exhibit at the Phoenix Art Museum opened yesterday afternoon and I took the afternoon off work to check out the flower arrangements. This is one of my favorites. The floral artist didn't mimic the painting but did arrange a complimentary bouquet. Of course, it didn't hurt that this is one of my favorite paintings. It's titled "Desert Rain God" by Louisa McElwain.

I can see why it is your favorite! The arrangement complements the painting perfectly. I cannot wait 'til the MIA has their show. I took many photos last year and intend to do the same again this April. Hope you post some more of yours.
The flowers also form a restful contrast to the energy and vigour of the painting. Great work.
The painting is gorgeous as is the arrangement. I'll bet you had a fun afternoon!
Beautiful flowers
I have not seen this exhibit. Shame on me. My office is across the street.
I love that painting.
So pretty, both the flowers and the art.
Enjoy your weekend!
i love it when you cover this event and share photos
I like that painting too and I think the flower arrangement is perfect for it.
Oh wow! I love that painting...flowers do mimic the painting well.
The painting is wonderful...so much of the power that we see in our monsoon storms.
I remember your pics from last year. Looking forward to more!
I love that painting along with several others. I remember this show from last year and look forward to more photos.
The flowers are gorgeous and I really like that painting. It looks like a tornado!
Beautiful interpretation of the painting!
Such a nice way to come closer and spend some time admiring the painting and the flower arrangement.
I love the idea of painting plus flowers, what a great idea. Definitely an impressive painting Sharon.
Great art posts here. The rain God is amazing.
