I myself have always loved to paint flowers.
Flowers have been revered by artists all over the world.
Here are some samples of flower paintings, by artists from different countries.

JAPANESE WALL PAINTING, NIKKO TOSHOGU SHRINE, approximately 1542 A.D.

Above,above
All birds in air

Below, below
All earth's flowers

Inland, inland
All forest trees

Seaward, seaward
All ocean fish

Sing out and say
Again the refrain

Behold this lovely world.
