Spring Bouquet by Suzanne Valadon Art Print

Spring Bouquet by Suzanne Valadon Art PrintMost still life prints behave. This one picks a side. Valadon paints her spring bouquet with thick, confident brushwork lilac, dusty pink, deep red and warm green tumbling out of a blue and white vase on a dark wooden chair.
