Roses in technicolor may not be real, but they contain many hues which are favorites throughout the world. If you live where April showers fell, then May will show the results. Flowers have been favorite subjects for artists for centuries.

 Marsden Hartley's "Calla Lilies"

Edward Manet's "Moss Roses"

Neither of these artists normally painted flowers, but could not resist depicting them, perhaps when human models were not available. Colorful background versus neutral one is every artist's challenge when enhancing his composition with flowers.
