note:
The title of the present work, "Sean's Bouquet", refers to the artist's grandson, artist Sean Avery Cavanaugh. According to a friend of the Avery family, Sean picked the flowers shown in this painting from the lawns and gardens of Sally's Woodstock home. He then arranged them as a gift for his grandmother, who - in turn - memorialized them in this fine painting.
