Three Things: Garden Edition

2012 August 20

‘Tis the season for garden bounties. For those of us with gardens of our own, this means vegetables and fruits are coming out of our ears. For those of us without gardens, this means reaping the benefits of our friends-with-gardens’ over-supply problem. Yum.

This week, let’s write about the garden.

 

Joan Miró, Vegetable Garden and Donkey, 1918. Oil on canvas. Moderna Museet, Stockholm.

 

Henri de Braekeleer, A Flemish Kitchen Garden: La Coupeuse de Choux, ca. 1864. Oil on canvas. Victoria & Albert Museum, London.

 

Gustav Klimt, Country Garden with Sunflowers, 1905–1006. Oil on canvas. Osterreichische Galerie Belvedere, Vienna, Austria.

    Klimt! I spent some time in Vienna awhile ago and he’s become one of my favorite artists because of it. I have not seen that particular painting, though. I have been enjoying veggies and fresh spices from the garden lately. It’s one of the best things about this season! 🙂

      I agree whole-heartedly, regarding both Klimt and getting fresh produce from the garden!
