I’ve got flu. No kidding. I thought it was just a cold, but HECK NO…
So I’m sharing some paintings – I have hundreds of works of art saved on my computer and on my phone. I may as well share them with you, right?
Matisse – Safrano Roses at the Window
Gustave de Smet – Nature Morte aux Anemones
Mabel Royds – Honeysuckle
Kees Van Dongen – Bouquet de Fleurs
Bruno Liljefors – Winter Landscape with Bullfinches
George Randolph Barse – Trees on Capri
Cedric Morris – Iris Seedlings
Arthur Streeton – Liles and Bells
Luigi Russolu – Landscape at the First Rays of Sun
Shiro Kasamatsu – Rainy Evening at Shinobazu Pond
I have a favorite; it changes every ten minutes…
love,
Janice
So sorry to learn that you have flu. Rest up, drink plenty and hope you feel better soon. Last time, I had flu, I was in bed for a week. In the meantime, we”ll enjoy the art and tidy our wardrobes. 💐 X
Oh, Janice! I am so sorry you have the flu. I hope you feel much better soon! Rest and fluids…fluids and rest.
That being said, I am DIGGING these paintings. All of them are magnificent and you have taught me how to look deeply into the color palette and separate the ones that speak to me. I must say, being the color magpie that I am, the Matisse window and the Morris seedlings are drawing me in. I also love Mabel Royds’ Honeysuckle. I have never heard of her or seen her work, but I’d like to know more!
Thank you for creating our virtual museum tour!
One of the best things about Instagram is finding artists about whom I knew NOTHING, and growing to admire their work. The internet isn’t an entirely cold and evil wasteland!
love,
Janice
Hope you feel better soon.
I want wardrobes from Trees on Capri and Shinobazu Pond, or to be honest, any of the above!
Thanks for bringing more beauty into our lives.
Take care of yourself and wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks for all the artworks. I think that Bouquet des Fleurs would make a lovely scarf.
Hope you feel better soon! This has been a rotten year for flu. The Matisse makes me smile as soon as I see it. I also like the Liljefors. They are so different from each other.
Janice, so sorry you are sick. Ugh. Hope you feel much better very soon. Ann
Sorry you are sick Janice! The flu is going around my house too. I hope you feel better soon. I’m loving that Matisse painting.
Oh no, sorry to hear you have the flu. Speedy recovery so you can make your upcoming trip. Hope your hubby stays well. Sending healing thoughts your way.
Beautiful paintings, thank you. My favourites keep changing as well, lol. Matisse has always been a favourite of mine, Mabel Royds is new to me so happy to check her out.
Recover quick !
((((I hope you feel better soon!))))

Wishing you enough rest and a speedy recovery. Boo to flu.
Do you ever look at some paintings and wish you could have them in scarf form the way museum gift shops offer scarves from the exhibits? (Since our walls and wallets are already maxed out with affordable art we love.)
Right? I would love every single one of these as a scarf!
scafos.com
You can upload images to their site, and they can make scarves in a bunch of different sizes and fibers. I’m going to be ruined…
love,
Janice
Another dangerously awesome print your own option – contrado.com. they have a silk twill that i’ve been eyeing for some time. used them to print some ripstop nylon for presents & service was superfast. & gorgeous. (no affiliation, just a fan)
Gosh. I want your art file on my computer in a file called “eye candy.” These are all lovely.
Hope you feel better soon.
Get better soon. Drinking lots does help a little.
And please, if you ever feel to do a ‘Start with Art’ with the Winterlandscape with bullfinches, I would really appreciate this. I have both colors, rust in my autumn and grey in my summer wardrobe, but I have never mixed them. Maybe I will try, as summer is just around the corner. Thank you.
Get well soon, Janice.
The paintings are all beautiful.
Get well soon! Your Art collevtion is Amazing!
Janice,
Oh noooo ! Healing prayers on their way up right now ! Rest and clear liquids !
So many colorful capsule inspirations ! I think the Iris is my favorite ( maybe because it also
Is one of my favorite flowers ) !
Come back only when you once again feel up to it — we’ll be here !
Cyber hugs !
Second favorite — Landscape at First Rays of Sun.
I wish I had honeysuckle silken dress (Mabel Royds)… Thank You so much and get well, dear Janice!
Take care of yourself, this Influenza A strain is not to be messed with. My much younger sister came down it and was hospitalized for three days. Hope your case is manageable and you get better soon.
My favorite paintings in order:
Landscape at the First Rays of Sun
Winter Landscape with Bullfinches
Trees on Capri
Rainy Evening at Shinobazu Pond
My day was made thank to you! You posting some of your favorite art made my heart sing! So sorry you’re sick, happy tea;ing, please stay hydrated and get plenty of rest!
Nature Morte aux Anemones is calling to me. I’ll be thinking about this one for quite some time. As others have done, I send healing wishes and hope you rest up to feel better for your trip!
