🎨: Maria Richards Oakey Dewing (American, 1845–1927), "Poppies and Italian Mignonette" (1891)

[Museum of Fine Arts, Boston @mfaboston]

Maria Richards Oakey Dewing believed that any artist attempting to paint from nature should first serve “a long apprenticeship in the garden.”

Just as we see here, she grew poppies and sweetly fragrant mignonette, both hardy species, together in a large bed 🌺

It's starting to feel like summer in Boston ☀️

From 1917 into the 1920s, #HenriMatisse spent his winters in Nice in the South of France. Many of his paintings from this period focus on bright, sunny interiors.
