  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."

  4. July 10 - the birthday of Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) - a Danish-French painter born on the island of St Thomas (now in the US Virgin Islands). Pissarro is the only artist to have shown his work at all 8 Paris #Impressionist exhibitions, from 1874 to 1886. He "acted as a father figure not only to the #Impressionists" but to all 4 of the major Post-Impressionists, Cézanne, Seurat, Gauguin, and van Gogh.

  5. August 19 - the birthday of Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894) - a French painter who was a member and patron of the #Impressionists, although he painted in a more realistic manner than many others in the group.

  6. "Landscape with Cows," Helen McNicoll, 1907.

    A Canadian Impressionist, McNicoll helped popularize Impressionism in Canada and became one of the most prominent Canadian artists of the early 20th century. Sadly, she died young, 35 y/o, of diabetes, only 8 years after this was completed.

    But what a perfect summer scene!

    From the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto.

  8. "The Fourth of July, 1916," Frederick Childe Hassam, 1916.

    A vibrant scene of a celebration of Independence Day on New York's Fifth Avenue, in the midst of WWI, when some Americans were worried about foreign invasion. This scene is especially flag-ridden as the artist was a supporter of the Preparedness Movement, with advocated for stronger national defense.

  9. "Bordighera," Claude Monet, 1884.

    Monet visited the Italian Riviera town of Bordighera, for what was intended to be a few weeks but stretched into a few months as he was inspired by the Mediterranean light. Such a lovely summer image...

    From the Art Institute of Chicago.

  10. "Giverny, Poplars of Ajoux," Blanche Hoschedé Monet, c. 1896.

    Monet's stepdaughter, AND daughter-in-law (quite a tale, look it up) was a purer Impressionist than he was. He taught and encouraged her, so the influence of his style is evident, but it has its own little ways of being unique.

    From a private collection.

  11. Like a bunch of brilliant painters were just hanging out in Paris cafes in the late 19th century. Maybe that's not coincidence or synergy. Maybe talent is omnipresent and we just don't recognize it most of the time.

  12. "Camille Monet on a Garden Bench," Claude Monet, 1873.

    Monet's enigmatic portrait of his wife has many explanations, but probably the best is that she is reacting to her father's death, and the man (a neighbor of theirs) is offering condolences. Her sad visage is quite a contrast to the bright garden.

    From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

  13. "Woman Bathing Her Feet in a Brook," Camille Pissaro, 1894-5.

    Summer will be here before you know it, and we'll all want to dip our feet in a cool brook! I once survived a brutally hot picnic one summer by simply sitting with my feet in a stream until it was time to eat...

    From the Art Institute of Chicago.

  14. "The Cliff, Étretat, Sunset," Claude Monet, 1882-3

    Another real landscape, this time a natural rock formation on the Normandy cost. Called "The Elephant and the Needle," (or is it a Mastodon?), it's a popular sight. It was also the setting of a thriller by Maurice LeBlanc, "The Hollow Needle," starring gentleman-burglar Arsene Lupin.

    From the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh.

  15. "Parisian Boulevard," Ramon Pichot i Gironès, 1898/1901. The darkness gathers as various figures walk along a tree-lined street illuminated by lanterns. A Catalan Impressionist, Pichot was an early mentor to Salvador Dali and a friend to Picasso and Gertrude Stein. This hangs in the Museu del Cau Ferrat in Sitges, Spain. #art #Impressionists #CatalanArt #SpanishArt
