Friday is art appreciation day
As it's Friday, and hot, I thought I'd leave some beautiful and serene and soothing art work for anyone lurking to enjoy.
Claude Monet is one of my all-time favorite artists. The picture above, entitled Waterlilies, Green Reflection, courtesy of the WebMuseum.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir is another one of my favorite artists. La Parisienne above isn't one of his very best, but my Mother's parents had a copy of this in their home, along with Lady at the Piano, both of which I really loved as a child. I think I started my love affair with the Impressionist painters because of those copies. If you can find it, get your hands on a copy of Jean Renoir's book, Renoir, My Father. It's a lovely read.
Last is Alfred Sisley's Bridge at Villeneuve-la-Garenne, also courtesy of the WebMuseum.
