Can’t help myself. I found a few more photos taken at last week’s Bouquets to Art show at the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco. Gotta share this bunch of bouquets. Enjoy!

“Eclosion” by Thanh Nguyen with Keith Haring’s painting “Untitled” 1986. Bouquet relies heavily on plastic tubing, but picks up nicely on the commotion of Haring’s painting. Photo by Barbara Newhall
"Flowers for all Reasons" by Judy Clark, accompanies Helen Frankenthaler's painting  "Free Wheeling" 1971 at the DeYoung Museum. Photo by Barbara Newhall
“Flowers for all Reasons” by Judy Clark makes subtle use of a bicycle wheel to interpret Helen Frankenthaler’s  “Free Wheeling,” 1971.  I like the way the horizontal, linear posing of the blossoms comments on the linearity of the art.  Photo by Barbara Newhall

A Cemetery Comes to LIfe — With Tulips

Tulips of many colors hang upside down over the entrance to the Tower Chapel at Mountain View Cemetery, Oakland, Calif., during its annual Tulip Exhibition. The design, titled "Puddle Jumping," is by the Merritt College Floral Design Department. Photo by Barbara Newhall

By now my faithful readers know that I’ve got a thing about tulips. So, of course, I dropped everything to take in a local tulip show last weekend. Read more.
