A close-up photograph of a vibrant yellow marigold flower in full bloom, its petals slightly ruffled and radiating outward. At the centre of the flower, a fuzzy bumblebee is captured mid-foraging as it delves into the bright yellow florets. The background is softly blurred, featuring hints of green foliage and subtle, out-of-focus floral elements, which help to draw attention to the bee and the marigold.

"Flower Market," Ethel Carrick, 1907.

Yesterday I featured a work by the Dean of Impressionists, Camille Pissarro; today I have one of his students, Ethel Carrick (1872-1952).

Carrick, British by birth, married Australian painter Emanuel Phillips Fox and with him lived in France until 1913. There she painted this delightful flower market scene. She was a respected figure in the Parisian art world and was a jury member for a number of exhibitions.

At the outbreak of WWI, she and her husband moved to Australia, where she devoted her time to painting and work for the Red Cross. When Fox died in 1915, she traveled around Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, painting and exhibiting.

She didn't promote herself as much as she promoted her husband's work, urging galleries and museums to buy his work. However, in recent years his style has come to be seen as overly stodgy, while hers as more original, adventurous and experimental, and she's being rediscovered by a new generation of art lovers. In the 90s her Asian paintings were exhibited to great acclaim, and she's been the subject of a number of retrospective exhibits.

Happy Flower Friday!

An Impressionist painting of a French flower market. To the left, several women are under a tree, chatting, while another one, in a maid's uniform of black dress and white cap and apron, passes by. To the right, bunches of flowers in white paper stand, and behind them, we can see more colorful flowers and people standing in a sunlit area. In the background are several buildings, all hit by the sun.

The trail on our right borders a meadow in a riot of white and red flowers as it flows down the hill on a bright sunny morning.

A close-up photograph of vibrant lavender flowers in full bloom, set against a warm, golden wooden background. The slender green stems of the lavender rise upwards, each topped with clusters of small, rich purple flowers. The flowers are sharply in focus, while the wooden backdrop is softly blurred, creating a contrast that highlights the natural beauty and delicate details of the lavender.
