Reference Photos for Artists: Flowers

We can't all have gardens such as Claude Monet's at Giverny, so here's a collection of flower reference photos that brings the flowers to you. Don't feel guilty about using photos for inspiration. Monet himself said: "Whether my cathedral views, my views of London and other canvases are painted from life or not is nobody's business and of no importance whatsoever." And if you get hayfever, photos have the advantage of not making you sneeze!

If you'd like to add your own flower photographs to this reference collection, here's what to do.
