Apple Blossoms Happy Belated Birthday
Pictures by Martin Johnson Heade
Martin Johnson Heade's 1873 painting of apple blossoms opens in soft pink against a deep, dark ground, with a gentle happy belated birthday wish. Heade was an American painter known for hummingbirds, orchids and magnolias, seen with a naturalist's eye in soft light. For someone whose birthday slipped past, sent with every bit as much love.
