Catherine Borowski has always had an active imagination. As a child, she dreamed that the car park on her north London council estate would be transformed into a garden. The reality was quite different. “No one had a car, so it was empty, grey and depressing,” she says. Now a sculptor and event producer, Borowski has made it her mission to fill unloved urban spaces with flowers – albeit virtual ones. 

She and her partner Lee Baker are the founders of Graphic Rewilding, a project to install huge nature-inspired artworks into the urban landscape. “Where real rewilding isn’t possible, our goal is to inject the colour and diversity of nature into rundown spaces, urging people to notice – and find joy in – the world around them,” says Baker.   

The pair believe that flowers possess serious powers, even when they’re not real. “We know that spending time in nature is good for us, but studies show that even pictures of plants have a positive effect on the mind,” says Baker. He cites research published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, which found that imagery of plants in hospital waiting rooms can help reduce feelings of stress in patients. 

Baker, a painter and music producer, has long understood the benefits of biophilic design. Having suffered a breakdown 10 years ago, he found that drawing flowers was the only way to soothe his buzzy brain. “I would set out to draw dystopian landscapes, representative of my state of mind, but I’d always end up drawing flowers, which uplifted me,” he says.

It was around this time that Baker met Borowski, joining her production company as creative director. The pair have collaborated ever since, launching Graphic Rewilding in 2021. Since then, they’ve installed floral murals at locations including Earl’s Court station, Lewes Castle and Westfield Shopping Centre in Shepherd’s Bush – all hand drawn by Baker. “We love galleries, but we focus on public art,” he says. “This way, our work is out there for everyone to enjoy.”

This year the pair have grand plans to create a series of stained glass pavilions (think greenhouses with colourful floral-themed panels), which they hope might find homes at Kew Gardens and the Eden Project. “The way light shines through the glass is magical,” says Borowski.  

Even so, they concede that art is no match for Mother Nature. “Some people have suggested that our project detracts from real rewilding efforts. But both can co-exist,” says Borowski. “Of course we want more green spaces.” adds Baker. “But we aren’t gardeners. We’re artists. In the absence of nature, we want to create inspiring spaces through art.”

Overall, the response has been hugely positive. “The joy that these artworks bring is palpable,” says Baker, highlighting an early project in Crawley, West Sussex. “Many people in the town were employed by Gatwick airport and Covid had taken its toll,” he recalls. In a bid to spread some joy, the duo painted brick walls, billboards, benches and even bins with their signature floral flair. “Peoples’ reactions were heartwarming. There were so many smiling faces,” he says.

Elsewhere, in Earl’s Court, the pair transformed “a ratty piece of tarmac” into a modern-day pleasure garden, which is now often filled with children dancing and doing cartwheels on the way home from school. “Putting art into a place that previously felt unloved feels like cultivating joy where there was none,” reflects Borowski. “If something like this had been installed on my estate when I was a kid, it would have been a dream come true.”

I would like to repost a few works Adrian Berg (1929 - 2011), who was one of the great British landscape painters of the last half of the twentieth century.

For twenty-five years Berg assiduously painted the view of Regent’s Park from his window at Gloucester Gate, later on his subject matter broadened to the vast panoramas around Derwent Water in the Lake District, the glass houses and trees at Kew and Syon, the Moorish gardens of the Alhambra, the reflections in the lakes at Sheffield Park and Stourhead and the flora and fauna of the Sussex coastline.

His vibrant paintings were not only an emotional response to his surroundings, but much more than that they are intellectual ideas in paint. Berg was a figurative painter in a time when institutional and commercial appetite for figurative painting was waning in the face of post-war abstraction, conceptualism, minimalism and Pop art. But like his great friend and fellow RCA alumnus David Hockney, Berg believed that representational painting still had higher plains to reach and outer edges to explore.

Although Berg was unwilling to court publicity he still received considerable institutional recognition within his lifetime. In 1986, The Serpentine Gallery held a major retrospective of his work, which subsequently toured the country. In 1992, he was elected as a Royal Academician, and in 1994 he became an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Art.

Ferdinand Bauer: The Nature of Discovery (Art of Nature)

David Mabberley

Merrell Holberton / The Natural History Museum, London 1999

The Austrian brothers Ferdinand and Franz Bauer have been called by some the greatest of all botanical painters. But where Franz (1758-1840) chose the security of a life-long job as painter at London’s Kew Gardens, Ferdinand (1760-1826) became a traveling painter, identifying and recording plant species of Greece and Asia Minor, leading to the publication of the most expansive botanical book ever produced—Flora graeca. In 1801, he was appointed to be the natural history painter on the Investigator expedition sent to map the coast of Australia. Over the course of a grueling four-year journey, Bauer worked prodigiously, producing an outstanding series of paintings, some of the thousands of which were eventually published in his book, Illustrationes florae Novae Hollandiae. This book, showing a sampling of his work throughout his career as a traveling artist, displays Bauer’s outstanding talent and incredible sensitivity to natural forms.

Gardens outside Paris make spectacular impression on tourists as flowers turn heads and calm souls

Claude Monet’s Gardens are both intimately familiar and overwhelming in their spectacle.The French impressionist master lived in Giverny, France, for half his life, from 1883 to his death, at age 86, in 1926. The gardens inspired Monet’s greatest and best-known paintings. They are a popular tourist attraction today, located near a tranquil bend of the Siene River. It’s an easy one-hour drive northwest of Paris. (See the video at the top of this article.)THIS POPULAR FLOWER IS IN SENSATIONAL FORM IN NEW ENGLAND THIS SUMMERGiverny is frequented by various tour groups from the city and is a common stop for Seine River cruise ships. The spectacular gardens of Giverny proved a great source of inspiration for the artist. Monet’s arrival at Giverny coincided with a rise in his financial and artistic fortunes.”Claude Monet’s gardens at Giverny are like his paintings — brightly colored patches that are messy but balanced,” reports RickSteves.com.”Flowers were his brushstrokes, a bit untamed and slapdash, but part of a carefully composed design. Monet spent his last (and most creative) years cultivating his garden and his art at Giverny, the Camp David of Impressionism.”SINGLE MOM TRAVELS TO 17 COUNTRIES WITH BABY DURING 3-YEAR- PAID MATERNITY LEAVEThe gardens wow visitors with splashes of color from April to October. The landscape is highlighted by the bridges and water lilies seen in hundreds of Monet’s paintings known throughout the world. Here are some of the early summer flowery highlights of Monet’s Gardens at Giverny. The plant gets its name from blooms that look similar to the claws or beaks of a lark bird.”As larkspur typically blooms in the warm summer months, this flower often represents lightness, pure fun and the desire to be humorous,” reports the website of Nanz & Kraft Florists of Louisville, Kentucky.”The larkspur is a symbol of an open heart, sincerity, strong love bonds and dedication.”This stunning and distinctive flower, a showstopper in any garden, has long been central to decorative gardening. STATE FLOWER QUIZ! CAN YOU MATCH THESE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS WITH THEIR CORRECT STATES?”The plant has been a part of European and English gardens since the 1500s and a part of American gardens since the 1700s,” reports the website of Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia.”Most common blossoms are usually rich, deep purple, but can also be white, red or pink.”Feverfew, a type of small daisy, has long played a role in folk medicine, first in Europe and later after it was imported to North America and other parts of the world. “Two common reasons people take feverfew are to try to prevent migraine or lessen arthritis symptoms,” reports WebMD.One of the most beautiful blooms at Giverny, or in any garden, is known by a variety of names: painted tongue, tube tongue and velvet trumpet flower among them.ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, JULY 9, 1828, AMERICAN PAINTER GILBERT STUART DIES AT AGE 72Whatever this flower is called, it offers “a kaleidoscope of color and glossy, spectacular details,” reports NorthAmericanFarmer.com. “This plant produces flowers that possess flamboyant pigment shadings and vivid veins.”These distinctive thistle-like flowers boast a significant history in human evolution far behind their eye-catching beauty.”Safflower is one of the oldest known cultivated crops,” according to the website of Kew Royal Botanic Gardens of London. “It has been a highly valuable resource for thousands of years; first as a clothing and food dye, then as a cheap alternative to saffron, and now a cooking oil and vital ingredient in skin and hair care products.”An import from North America, this spectacularly vivid flower briefly blazes across Monet’s studio early summer and is a rare find even in its native habitat.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle”The flowers open only in the morning,” reports wildflower.org. “The petals then wilt and turn to a jelly-like fluid.

Apart from painting and gardening, I am good for nothing. My greatest masterpiece is my garden.”

Burt Bacharach Wiki:- Burt Freeman Bacharach was an American composer, songwriter, record producer, and pianist who lived from May 12, 1928, to February 8, 2023. From the late 1950s to the 1980s, he wrote hundreds of pop songs, frequently in collaboration with lyricist Hal David. Bacharach, a six-time Grammy Award winner and three-time Academy Award winner, has had more than 1,000 different musicians record his songs.

Burt Bacharach Wiki

Burt Bacharach had penned 52 UK Top 40 hits of 2014. He was a key figure in 20th-century popular music composition. Burt Bacharach's work is distinguished by odd chord progressions, influenced by his training in jazz harmony, and unusual choices of instruments for tiny orchestras. However, prior collaborations (from 1957 to 1963) saw the songwriting team team up with Marty Robbins, Perry Como, Gene McDaniels, and Jerry Butler. Dionne Warwick performed and recorded the majority of Bacharach and David's hits.
