Flowers In A Basket Analysis

The choosing of an art piece to write about was difficult. I was stuck between a couple of pieces, which were “Flowers in a Basket” by Osias Beert and “Cagnes sur Mer” by William H. Johnson.

There was some works that were not kid friendly, I wish they would have put up a cautionary sign beforehand. If I knew my experience was going to be like this, I would have chosen a different museum. Next time I am definitely going somewhere
