Hi Tricia, like Pamela, I'm more drawn to Monet and Van Gogh's flowers, too. They are the essence of spring, to me. And although I may not pick up my paint brush to capture the beauty of spring flowers, I do pick up my digital camera, to do it with. Loved the article. Thank you. Take care! Renie

Hi Pamela,

Flowers are blooming all around my neighborhood with the trees now in full blossom. But all my neighbors keep driving up to the mountains to get one more weekend of skiing in.

To each their own smile

To Vshekar,

How wonderful it must have been to visit Giverny. I'm glad it is untouched. I had no idea Monet allowed no gardeners inside, but I can understand his reasoning. I too love the relaxed look of nature left to itself.

Thanks for your comments,

Hi Jill,

You are so right about the artists having little in common. The only common thread is perhaps that they are my personal favorites. They all have such unique backgrounds - so totally different from my own experiences, yet their paintings speak to me so powerfully.

Thanks for your comments. You always make me think.

Hi Jo,

I think Georgia O'Keeffe was such an amazing person. I think she paved the way for women artists everywhere. She proved to the world that women can be great artists and not just teachers of art! I love it when people like her tumble old stereotypes.

Thanks for posting,

Hi Tricia,

Thank you for this wonderful article and the links to the paintings! This was a lovely stroll through spring.

I love all three artists, but I Van Gogh is my favorite. I love his Irises!

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. smile

» Sarah_Love - Mona Lisa under a Starry Night --

Check out this super cool painting I stumbled across that fuses 2 of the most famous paintings of all time, the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci and a starry night by Vincent van Gogh. The artist, Adam Strange, even manages to include the surrealist by titling the painting "the persistence of memory." That's the painting by Salvador Dali of the melting clocks in the desert. It even seems like Strange's interpretation has more to do with the persistency of memory than Dali's. After taking 3 consecutive semesters of art history at UCLA I can totally relate to this painting. Soon all of art history seems to just melt together. Thank god for Christmas break!
