Emil Nolde (born Hans Emil Hansen; 7 August 1867 – 13 April 1956) was a German-Danish painter and printmaker. He was one of the first Expressionists, a member of Die Brücke, and was one of the first oil painting and watercolor painters of the early 20th century to explore color. He is known for his brushwork and expressive choice of colors. Golden yellows and deep reds appear frequently in his work, giving a luminous quality to otherwise somber tones. His watercolors include vivid, brooding storm-scapes and brilliant florals.

This one really pops! I love the vivid hues of the flowers. Perhaps the Danish painter paints in bright colors since they have such a short time for beautiful flowers to grow!? A way to keep the summer in the cold dark months of the year!

That makes sense – I can understand a need for color in the winter! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Dwight. 🌻
