Great article, and so informative. My family went to St Remy a few years ago in April and the flowers were all in bloom and looked so beautiful. Loved the detail about the pine pollen, so very interesting.
Something about discovering the pine pollen is endearing to me - makes me truly realize wow, this really *is* something that another person created a long time ago. Not just “a painting in a museum.”
Excellent piece Nicole and of course the same is true of his well-known 'Bedroom'
