Nina’s Trees across the Commons
Posted by Stephanie Fysh in Across The CommonsNina Kuriloff is a New York-based painter whose selections from the Commons have enlivened our Best of the Commons posts recently. Many of our Across the Commons posts recently have drawn on her selections in themed topics in the Flickr Commons group, which this blog grew out of. This one, though, is special, because whether Nina knows it or not, many of the trees she’s discovered in the Commons, wherever they were found, echo her own paintings – Nina’s Trees:
| Acacia tree and vegetation – Kenya, 1906 |  Field Museum |
| Large fig tree and native vine growing in the middle of sugar cane in the Logan district – Queensland, Australia, 1870 |  State Library of Queensland, Australia |
| Passaic River, below the falls (etching) – New Jersey, 1920 |  New York Public Library |
| Kembla fig tree – New South Wales, Australia, circa 1900 |  Powerhouse Museum |
| Baobab tree – Kenya, 1906 |  Field Museum |
