SUMMER IN MARCH
CRIMSON ROSES, IMPRESSIONIST SUNLIGHT
Philip Leslie Hale, Crimson Rambler, 1908, oil on canvas, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, PA
You love the roses—so do I. I wish
The sky would rain down roses….
George Eliot, Roses
American Impressionist Philip Leslie Hale (1865-1931) created the haunting Crimson Rambler at his home near Boston, where he lived with wife and fellow artist Lillian Westcott Hale; his sister Ellen Day Hale also had a career in painting. Mary Anne Evans (1819-1880), better known as George Eliot, is one of the major forces in British literature, the author of classic works such as The Mill on the Floss, Silas Marner, and Middlemarch.
