Of course I had to....the minute I though of the other name for Anemones ( Wind Flowers) I knew exactly where to go to find my next painting...’Wind Flowers’ by John William Waterhouse (1849-1917. Love the painting and the artist is a favourite too.
A pot plant like this is you'd expect to see on a windowsill, not in a Van Gogh painting. And yet he still decided to paint it! Why? The work was a colour study. By setting the orange against a blue background, he created a strong contrast, which makes the colours more intense.
