Field Guide to Flowers at the Denver Art Museum | 
pickThis small book is a collection of art from the Denver Art Museum. All of the pieces depict flowers in some way. There are short texts interspersed, recipes for a milkweed seed bomb, candied rose petals, a perfume, and an “in full bloom cocktail,” as well as artist quotes, a writing prompt, a drawing exercise, and a brief introduction to Ikebana. From the art, I quite enjoyed this colorful watercolor by Barbara Latham, Decoration Day. ⬇️
psalva Overall, this is a quaint little book which I enjoyed perusing. I would have liked more information about each artist and the artworks but that‘s just me. Maybe some more detailed notes with further reading recommendations in the back would have done it. 1y
