Actress Margarita. 1909. Million Scarlet Roses from Niko Pirosmani

Million Scarlet Roses from Niko Pirosmani. Georgian artist Niko Pirosmani (5 May 1862 – April 9, 1918) was a primitivist, one of those artists about whom people far from understanding art, say: “I would have painted not worse than that”.

Behind the apparent naivete of painted on canvas animals and holiday feasts are hidden deep feelings – pain through the joy and pleasure through pain.

And this makes the monitoring of gathering the berries process even more surprising. By the way, Canada – the main center of non-Indian Sikh diaspora. Considered a national treasure of Canada (and the USA), the large-fruited cranberry sea has some peculiarities. In particular, its fruits contain air chambers, allowing the berries float on the surface. When the harvest season begins, the plantations of cranberry bushes became filled with water.
