Every April, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts hosts Art in Bloom, a festival of flowers arranged by New England garden clubs and professional designers. The flower art is inspired by the many masterpieces found throughout the Museum. This flower arrangement was inspired by the sculpture of Arno, the greyhound owned by Horatio Greenough (1805–1852), one of America's first major sculptors of marble. AIMG_8654
