As I promised here are answers to the riddle I posed in my previous post:
Bouquet 4 proved to be an easy guess: everybody got it correct: Gottfried Helnwein, Ephiphany II
| 2012 | 2013 |
 |
 |
With the second bouquet it proved to be harder: only one reader recognized the bouquet correctly (and I was very impressed!) – Bouquet 2: Willard Leroy Metcalf Winter’s Festival
| 2012 | 2013 |

hajusuuri, you’re a winner! I’ll contact you to arrange a prize (I planned to make a prize for this riddle from the beginning but didn’t want my readers to feel like I’m making them to jump through hoops to get something – I wanted them to play with me).
Here are pairings for the other two bouquets:
| 2012 | 2013 |
| Recreation, Jerome Thompson | |
 |
 |
| A Dinner Table At Night, Sargent | |

Great job, Hajusuuri!
Undina, it’s really striking how beautifully bouquet #2 matches up with Winter’s Festival, now that I see them together. Thanks for the fun.

Suzanne, thank you for playing!
Last year that Winter Festival composition was my favorite because they used all those not white flowers to represent the not white painting that, in our mind’s eye, is supposed to be white. The composition this year did it very interesting as well (and they used lilacs!)
