Manet died #OTD 1883. During his long final illness, he began painting the flowers that friends brought to his Paris sickroom. Here are some of his last works, his unpretentious last testament ~ Carnations & Clematis in a Crystal Vase Bouquet ■ White Lilacs ■ (all 1882/3)

This is worse than that Matilda’s game. #NRLKnightsRaiders

Sometimes, you need Samuel L. Jackson to play you in a commercial...
