Flowers for the Weary Eyes




Giorgio Morandi, Flowers, 1951

My poor eyes have taken in too much ugly.  With every headline and news clip I feel an assault on my vision.  I've found simple and profound paintings of flowers, delicate and alive, to be a soothing antidote.  So I made a group of them to cope and figured I would share their beauty.  The milder weather brings a breeze into the house that helps too.  Deep breaths...
