tuscanny,  Great interpretation of the style of Giovanna Garzoni.  I really like the contrast you have used with the yellow lemons and dark blue.  Gorgeous grasshopper,   fantastic work.

sridhargopal,    Wonderful interpretation , and thank you for joining in.   Really enjoy seeing your composition.  I love the colour combination,  gorgeous little flowers thrown in.  The grapes are a nice touch.

Cheers

Cindy,  I almost missed you… I thought I was on page 4.. ( sorry I am struggling with this new format)

Wow to your basket of very beautiful crab apples and the recipe for the jelly.. love the little butterfly too.

It has been years since I have seen a crab apple and now I feel nostalgic.    I love the rustic of it all.. the bench and basket.. Wonderful interpretation.

Cheers

Cindy … lovely basket of cherries (prefer them to crab apples!!) and a recipe to boot! What more could we want? Beautifully painted too.

Merri, that’s a really good interpretation of Giovanna’s style …. love the lemons and especially  the one in front, it has a little eye!?

Cheers, Maureen

Beautiful work Merriweather.  Like the little rose hip on the table also.

Thank you for hosting this month and suggesting this artist for us to study a little.

I really like this Imogene.  Very soft colors like Giovanna Garzoni.

Imogene Thomas – Lovely interpretation.. incorporating flowers from the ‘herborium’ style into the vase and using soft flowers in the vase.. and lots of them too.   I really love what you have done.   Beautiful.

Here is my painting. I did plein air at first then finished inside. It’s a pot by the garage so easy to get to!! Simply titled: Dahlias and Butterfly. I don’t know I actually did this correctly with the Garzoni look. I forgot to paint a leaf of some kind!! Oh well, there is also a honey bee on the right flower…hard to see. It was fun to do.

I’ve been considering adding detail, a more formal Garzoni look but sometimes I need to stop when I’m ahead!  I had killed a bug to paint even!  <Kidding>  <Maybe not>  (I almost wish I could have removed the appearance of the splash but it may be oil and impossible to paint over.)

Funny how many of us went for the same fruit!

Pam,  lovely dahlias,  can spot the bee,  so nice to see the butterfly too.    I think your composition is beautiful,  Good on you for starting in plein air… Well done on all of it.    I like it very much.

Cheers
