February 1, 2009- The Concord Garden Club linked with an art show at the Kimball Jenkins Estate in Concord NH to put on "Art and Bloom." Patty Humphrey said it is an idea originated at the Boston Museum of Fine Art. With paintings as inspiration, the floral designers create arrangements. I was happy to have a small painting "Tree on North State Street, Concord" as a part of the exhibition. The painting was done in the early fall when color here in NH is striking. The sparkling quality of that one little tree with light behind it and around it was the intent of the painting.
At the show it was interpreted by Janna Cummings and her daughter Adelaide. I was impressed with their interpretation. I have attached a photo.
The opening was filled with an enthusiastic crowd.

On Saturday I went back to give a context for the show. I have attached a picture I took of the Kimball Jenkins Estate. If you want to see more from this interesting art school/gallery check out www.kimballjenkins.com.

Matthew Mead gave talk on Fresh Florals for Your Home on Saturday. Here he is viewing Nancy Young's interpretation of Tapestry by Kim Roth. His website www.Matthewm eadstyle.com may interest you for his aesthetics and interesting design ideas.

I have added a few other photos both of people there on Saturday and some arrangements. The interpretations were as varied as the art. Forgive my photography. I am a bit shy about asking people to pose and actually prefer to see people in action.
