They do it every year and it is up for a very short time. Someone chooses artworks and matches them up with floral designers who create a floral arrangement that matches, reflects, goes with &#8211; or something &#8211; the artworks. I had a hard time seeing how the floral designs went with the artwork. You never know what the artist sees. I find that with my own work.<\/p>\n<p>I have many pictures from the show, but the pink in this one intrigued me. I really created a lot of palettes and could have created more. There is a lot of scope for color in that arrangements. I had to stop because I knew you wouldn&#8217;t read about 50 palettes. I also didn&#8217;t want to write that much.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43276\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43276\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/colorPlay-Sep14-default.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-43276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/colorPlay-Sep14-default-300x286.jpg\" alt=\"ColorPlay: DeYoung Flowers-default\" width=\"300\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/colorPlay-Sep14-default-300x286.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/colorPlay-Sep14-default.jpg 655w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43276\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ColorPlay: DeYoung Flowers-default<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The first palette, as usual is the default palette.
