Art & flowers

[fbhjr]

My wife spent the morning off learning new sword fighting moves while I ran errands and chatted about Pensacola with morgan_lafaye.

When my wife got back, she and I headed off to the Worcester Art Museum Flora in Winter exhibit


It is very popular and the busiest I’ve seen the WAM. We had to drive around for a bit to find parking. Many of the roads nearby have places our friends used to live many years ago. On the other side of the parking lot is the building where my wife and I first met.
But, we were there for the museum, not sight seeing.


The “Flora In Winter” is a special 4 day only exhibit where they have many different floral arrangers come in and do floral arrangements based on the artwork in the museum.


They place the inspired floral arrangements next to the art in question. They have roving tour guides to try and help people see the correlation. Some of it was easier then others.








Some I didn’t get at all. My wife and I both didn’t get how this small bowl of flowers translated to the very large landscape above it.


In addition to the ones that are connected to paintings, there are many that just seem to be inspired by the museum and fit with the decor.












My wife was very fond of the large “spray” of flowers in the Chapter House.


The parking was so bad that when we left a SUV backed up a street the wrong way to play vulture for our parking space. We were happy to get away from that madness and went up to O’Connor’s for a nice late lunch.
