An endless supply of hills and valleys and scenes like the ones you presented.<br />I always notice something when it comes to shadows and that is how a shape reads that is in both the shadow and light. Sometimes they read so well that you think the shadows are glazed in. I like that look but I dont think this guy does that.<br />It seems as though the artists that you're presenting are keenly aware of the power of green in their paintings. It's almost as though they want you to have the impression of green...of course aside from the bridge painting.<br />It makes me wonder if the idea of impressionism was floating around longer than previously thought. Like it was a secret dying to get out.Gregory Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840770708114257366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-56385145799370790732009-09-05T02:54:05.002-04:002009-09-05T02:54:05.002-04:00Love his paintings since I first discovered him in...Love his paintings since I first discovered him in a glass case at the Met.
