David Hockney – Spring Cannot Be Cancelled: David Hockney in Normandy 

Now it is the time to enjoy beautiful March Birth Flowers – Daffodil and Jonquil!!   As we Spring ahead 1 hour – this weekend’s time change 2022, let’s enjoy these delightful beauties that symbolize Admiration, Compassion, Happiness, Rebirth, New Beginnings, and, of course, Spring! 

Daffodil Dreams Bouquet (Teleflora)

Spring Cannot Be Cancelled (Amazon)   

One of our greatest living artists, David Hockney- created a recent Normandy painting Spring Cannot Be Cancelled.  It is a fresh take on our wild year 2020, making major global news and affirming art’s ability to divert and inspire. His fabulous retrospective, during my years at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, has forever brought joy to my vision of art and artists. I trust his artistry will delight you too!

We have a wonderful week ahead with luck, happiness, and green.  St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th Celebrations of all kinds are very welcome!!  Aren’t we all Irish for a Day??

How do you celebrate luck and love?? 

Do you have annual, quintessentially Irish traditions or do you need fun and festive new ideas?

• Green hair and glitter makeup?
• Green beer or smoothies, Irish coffee, and whiskey?
• Corn beef, cabbage, and soda bread?
• Tables set elegantly with Herend Green Chinese Bouquet and William Yeoward Green Fanny Crystal or casually with Cabbage Plates and Bamboo Flatware??
• Are your centerpieces March daffodils…or live plants with 4 leaf clovers?? 
• Irish Apple Cake or Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream for dessert?

The wharf-side, legendary Buena Vista Café in San Francisco is known for introducing Irish coffee to America in 1952.  An Irish menu is always inspirational, especially with creative, earthy green selections – whether elegant or casual.

However you choose to celebrate – enjoy with a little green, a lot of luck, and March daffodils too!! Until next Saturday xoxo MMK
