In the Spring of 2008 a number of Valentien's flower portraits were exhibited in the Art Museum at Indiana University where I saw his work for the first time. Although Valentien had no botanical training he had keen observational skills and his watercolors of Californian wildflowers are accurate, delicate and breathtakingly beautiful.
