I love the spots of sunlight on the purple road in this painting. You can really feel the awareness of texture that a bright, humid-free day (like today!) brings to your senses. Impressionism is perfect for conveying that.

i love the bushiness of the flowers over the fence. it really gives you that air of europe about it doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt really does.
ReplyDeleteOh, lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI love the purple street/path best. I want to walk there ... slowly, quietly, and end up on a wooden bench somewhere down the path where I can sit and absorb all the beauty surrounding me. Yeah, that's what I want to do. ; )
ReplyDeleteExactly. Time will stand still.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this, I don't know much about late Impressionists such as Bittar. His nature is very impressionistic; the house, less so...not the usual.
ReplyDeleteImpressionism is my favorite art, next to the 1100s-1500s. Oh, and add icons to that. I love this painting and hope that I will be able to express myself so passionately as the impressionists when I master digital painting, if I ever do. It takes a lot of courage to paint like this. This painting really draws the viewer in.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, kkollwitz, the house is much less impressionistic, isn't it? I think he really shows nature as changing and growing as opposed to the house which is more static.
ReplyDeleteBarbara, I think we have similar tastes!
