Camille Pissarro is an inspiration
Camille Pissarro is an inspiration. A French Impressionist who helped change painting forever. Camille Pissarro and Claude Monet organized the first Impressionist Exhibition (A complete history of the 8 Impressionist Exhibits). Pissarro was the only artist to be in all eight.

Trees to and from Stockbridge were so very beautiful. I painted two when I got home. Finished just this morning.

How do they treat their customers / investors? So far, I don’t have any answers. How do you get in alignment?

Read MoreBig Blue and Something New
The weather has been beautiful, and I have been painting.I have been painting animals on metal leaf for a couple of years now. I knew that a landscape would look great on this surface as well. These paintings are almost interactive. There are subtle changes that reflect their environment. Where they are placed and what light they receive give the paintings to chance to glow.
