This is a sister site to the site we ran earlier in the year called Painting the Weather. Navigation is pretty easy. You can browse with the side menu by Title, Artist, Flower Type, Theme, or Locations. At the bottom of the page, you can check out the Quiz on Flower Painting.
Once you choose a gallery, you’ll see options within the gallery. Under flower type, you can choose roses, lilies, sunflowers, or tulips. Choose a flower to view and you’ll see thumbnails as well as a little information on the art you are viewing. Choose a thumbnail. To enlarge the image, click on the magnifying glass. To see the picture in detail, click on the circle with little lines coming off of it.
To use the detail feature, click on picture detail, then click on the artwork you are viewing. This will zoom in on that portion of the artwork. Now you can change the area you are looking at by using the navigational arrows around the picture. There are even more detailed instructions for using the picture detail mode on the page.
Can you find some of my favorite paintings here?
Love in Idleness
Still life with Flowers
Sunflowers
The Annunciation
And those are just a few of my favorites! Check out this interesting art site where you can find the beauty of flowers reflected elegantly on canvas.
