Flying Kites, Montmartre, 1906 | William James Glackens
After a crushing winter, few things are more timely than images from spring from around the world. Here’s a selection from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
On Thursday the National Gallery in London asked a question on Twitter: What are your favorite #PaintedLondon scenes? Melanie Skinner had a great response that fits well here:
Following in Melanie's excellent example, lets have some fun — what's your favorite spring-inspired art? Let me know on Twitter @sdavy and drop in the hashtag #SpringArt.
And if you like these spring-inspired artworks, here's something for your calendar. If you're in Boston during the last weekend of April, the MFA is hosting it's annual Art in Bloom event where garden clubs and professional designers create floral arrangements inspired by the museum's works of art.
