The Walter Anderson Museum of Art in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, opened a new exhibition, A Succession of Flowers, on June 2, 1997. This exhibition reflects Anderson's lifelong appreciation and reverence of the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast in his depictions of both wildflowers and cultured blooms from Southern gardens.Flowers such as day lilies, azaleas, and pansies are featured in large and small watercolors, and elegant line drawings of zinnias are also be displayed. The magnolia is exhibited in many stages of life, from a brilliant red seed pod to a full blossom. More than 100 works are on display, which may inspire both artists and gardeners to create boldly.
