Art in Bloom

New Orleans Museum of Art

I won't be running outside amidst the pollen today so this is one from last week.
The committee assigns a painting and it must be interpreted in flowers. It is one of our annual big fundraisers at the Museum of Art in New Orleans.
The judges said my red drape was distracting. Duhhh, the background of the painting is red. So, I settled for a red ribbon.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Another non-judge likes the red drape. I guess that's why I am not a judge.
Nice work Coleen.
Did you like the hurricane projections for 07?
Guess I will spend the summer and fall glued to Weatherunderground.com

More than anyone, judges seem to lack judgment! What a beautiful thing. Just as lovely as your photos.

I think your presentation was well balanced. Terrific work.

Coleen.......Your arrangement has wonderful rhythm. The red drape is lovely ... I suppose the judges thought the eye would be drawn to it instead of subject. I would probably have done the same thing. Beautiful interpretation..

Too bad I wasn't the judge, the ribbon would not have matched the painting! Blue all the way.

I like it. Can't wait to see this in person!

I love your flower arrangement Coleen, you certainly are multi-talented!
To my way of thinking the red drape sets it off exceptionally well.

What a great idea! And, the judges don't know art from their butt, evidently. It works beautifully and you are so multitalented!

what do the judges know, tsk

pesky judges

what a beautiful arrangement. I am impressed that the flowers so closely match the colours of the artwork. and I don't find the red cloth distracting.

Beautifully done. This is terrific.

I think your brave for exposing yourself to the whims of judges who have to say something after all!
Lee Rudd03-Apr-2007 17:14
don't you just love judges... ! I think is an excellent interpretation
