Dazzling Reflections
Friday, August 9, 2013
My theme of choice today is for sure a result of all the exposure I've had specially to Monet´s paintings at Normandy Impressionist Festival. I promissed in a previous post when I was still there, that I would dedicate a post to the Festival. Well, I´m not ready for that yet...So much to do, so little time...
Inspired by the Master I went to the pond at Botanic Garden to capture the dancing shapes of water.

Normandy Impressionist Festival

Painting in Normandy
The 2013 edition of the Impressionist Festival takes place all over Normandy, offering exhibitions and multidisciplinary events (music, theatre, dance, etc.)
This year the theme of the Festival is water.Works by the impressionist masters came from several public and private collections from Europe and USA.
The exhibit at Rouen Fine Arts Museum is superb! One hundred works depicting water through the brushes of Monet, Caillebotte, Berthe Morizot, Jongking, Manet, Renoir, Signac...
I intend to dedicate a special post about this in the future.

I managed to find a not so quiet spot to set my pochade box and paint at the Quai du Havre yesterday. Very nice weather!

Thursday, June 30, 2011
Time really flies! I have a lot of news since my last update, I intend to devote a post exclusively about this trip when I return to Brazil.
By now I'm just sharing some highlights..
Monet's luxurious gardens offer unlimited possibilities of composition
But that bridge attracts like a magnet
to be continued...

Paris at the time of the Impressionists
Monday, June 6, 2011
It is very difficult to paint in a city with so much to see. Paris breathes art around every corner this spring.
The exhibition at Hotel de Ville takes us on a trip to the turn of the nineteenth century's brushes by bringing together some work from the Museum D'Orsay.
It's easy to forget that the sun shines outside, contemplating the icy atmosphere of this masterpiece depicted by Caillebotte:
Vue de toits (effets de neige) - Gustave Caillebotte
almost hear the noise of the train ...
Gare Saint Lazare - Claude Monet
or witness the fatigue and loneliness through Lautrec's masterful lines
Seule - Toulouse Lautrec
As we are not allowed to take pictures, I've picked these ones from the web.
Paris au temps des Impressionistes ends July 30th.
