Fine Art Tuesday (late)

 

Many of Trägårdh's painting include trees that have been trained to "pollards", a sustainable harvest technique similar to "coppice" but with a length of tree trunk holding the branches above the reach of browsing animals.
Carl Ludvig Trägårdh born in Sweden in September 1861 and died in France in 1899.

Famous for painting pastoral scenes.

    Pollarding, the fine art of getting tree "hay" for your critters (stays fresh for over the winter), biscuit wood for cooking and you get more per year than taking the tree over decades.

    Nice when you don't have a chainsaw, just a sharp billhook.
