This Ingrid Bergman rose has spent 30-40 years in bad soil and surrounded by evil deer. I've been thinking about moving it for months and months through the fall and the winter. Finally today I did! It'll be interesting to see if I get a good bloom out of it now. And the newer rose bushes in that bed are looking good too.

Saturday, March 22 🌞(Catching up)

1. Doing better at staying off social media; the phrase ‘doomscrolling’ is not an exaggeration. 😱
2. Three hummingbirds are visiting the feeder regularly & the garden is alive with squirrels, assorted sparrows, tits, doves & finches — and the dominant Aries scrub jays.
3. My roses are starting to bloom - I’m hoping they do as well as last year’s.

Fully-opened bright red hybrid tea rose (“Ingrid Bergman”) within a thicket of its leaves and surrounding crape myrtle foliage, with a gray slatted fence as background.

"Basket of Roses," Henri Biva, 1891.

Biva (1848-1929) was a Realist/Naturalist painter of landscapes and the occasional still life. His work is recognizable for a degree of realism and attention to detail that prefigures the photorealism that would rise in the late 20th century.

I once showed one of his landscapes to a friend, who gazed at it for ages, then said, "You can almost HEAR that painting," as in it was easy to imagine the calls of birds and buzzing of insects. It was as if one could step through the frame into a lovely, but realistic, scene.

His attention to detail, his skill as a colorist, and his ability to depict natural light and make it LOOK natural on the canvas, are remarkable to me. He is scandalously overlooked and deserves greater attention....a lot of his work may not look like much at a glance (views of meadows or wooded glades or the shore of a pond or creek) but reward your attention with their amazing detail and realism. Go look him up.

Happy Flower Friday!

From a private collection.

An Academic painting of a basket of roses, sitting on the grass and presented from an angle as if we are lounging in the grass looking at it. The roses are varying shades of pink, yellow, and red. In the background, a footpath is visible and grassy lawns and trees, resembling a park. All is done in great detail and highly realistic style.
