  1. Isn't it amazing how women painters were able to portray more sensitivity through their work? There's always a sense of delicateness that soars through somehow.

    And about your obsession with Renoir? Well, I must say it's nice to find a kindred spirit... I am a huge devoted fan of his, and for some reason have not yet grown tired of his paintings! (^_^)

  2. Definitely!

    Perhaps I'm not tired of his paintings . . . it might just be that they remind me of a time when I was an obnoxious 10-year-old. ;) But I picked a few of my old favorites and will be posting them soon!
