Pierre-Auguste Renoir (Feb.25, 1841 - Dec.3, 1919)
He was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development
of the Impressionist style. As a celebrator of beauty, and especially
feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative
of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau.

Claude Oscar Monet (14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926)was a founder of
French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of
the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature,
especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting. The term Impressionism
is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise.

I have a beautiful bright male and this little female Cardinal

She was a short and sturdy kind of gal who appeared to
make an "impression" with just "a touch of pink".

The Tourist - Just Visiting

"Just Visiting"
Who's On the Bench - It Takes All Kinds
oil on canvas - 8"x8"- sold

Something very different for you today.
In these trying times, it doesn't hurt to have a bit of humor.
I have had this idea from the saying: "It takes All Kinds".
So, I thought I might do a variety of people on benches.
This gal seems to be a bit lost but has found an interested little helper.
Personally, I have always believed in angels and such but not in the way
that they are usually depicted. I believe that they are just like the
average person. I guess this painting touches on these thoughts.

Mother and daughter viewing a Kandinsky painting.
This painting made me think of clocks and time, hence the title.
I know that I have many images that are captured in my mind
of quiet moments that were spent with my mother.
Those moments in time are very special.
