Another Little Blog about Art

As you know Abby loves Kandinsky. Happy symbols chasing each other across the canvas…

But my true confession is this:  I adore Luncheon of the Boating Party by Renoir. I could stare at it for hours.  It looks like such a perfect afternoon – beautiful scenery, delicious food and drink, great conversation with friends. And such a lot of flirting going on!

On the technical side, I am amazed at how Renoir managed to convey all that reflected light, but most of all…I want to be at that party!

Do you know the movie, Midnight in Paris? I would insist on being transported right into that painting. A lovely Sunday afternoon with friends…and I think there is some wine left in the bottles for me to join right in.

    Hi Abby,
    Love Luncheon of the Boating Party and Midnight in Paris - both begging us to step right in and celebrate life, both tributes to the art of living. Books and paintings, talking about books and paintings, picnics, wine, dancing, late night walks under street lamps and love.... Nice...
