For an Impressionist to paint from nature is not to paint the subject, but to realize sensations.
Paul Cezanne

Michael McClure

Impressionism;
it is the birth of Light in painting.
Robert Delaunay

Let's not forget the people of the Ukraine who are fighting for their lives and to preserve their country and their freedom.

On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War, which began in 2014.

We all deserve our freedom and to live our lives in peace.

"You will face many defeats in your life,
but never let yourself be defeated."
~ Maya Angelou
