  1. It's no secret that I love goats! I came across this painting of goats (hubby is thinking about doing a needlepoint painting of this). Painting: "Seated peasant woman with goats" by #CamillePissarro (1885).

    "Painted in the rural hamlet of Eragny, just northwest of Paris, where Pissarro settled from 1884 until his death in 1903, this large and highly finished gouache revisits a subject that the artist had explored in a smaller oil study the previous year (private collection). Like fellow Impressionists Edgar Degas and Mary Cassatt, Pissarro eschewed conventional dictates, freely alternating between canvas and paper, and exploring the potential of various media, often in novel combination. Pissarro increasingly (and often desperately) gravitated to paper at this juncture in time as a way to make progress in his art and to make ends meet."

  2. Dziś wspominamy Camille'a Pissarra, urodzonego 10 lipca 1830 roku – wielkiego impresjonistę i mentora dla Cézanne’a czy Gauquina. Jego obrazy z życia codziennego i miejskie pejzaże zmieniły historię sztuki. (fot. Wikipedia) #CamillePissarro #Impresjonizm #Sztuka #Francja #Malarstwo
