Callebotte at the new "Block Collection" at the Nelson-Atkins in Kansas City . Wow. Really jumped out! "Boat on the Seine" blue was mesmorizing clear across the room. Just added him to my list.

I'm always delighted when someone says I'm engcouraged their appreciation for an artist they had underestimated. Thomas,

I think that one of the things that I like about the work is that the light appears closer to what I am used to in N. Ireland, as against the brilliant light of sunnier countries!

Thanks for the heads-up about the book on Impressionist snow scenes! I'll definately look for that. Sisley's certainly on the list, but it's a long list .

As a body, the Impressionist's winter scenes seem to get less attention than the more brilliantly colored "light" scenes, but personally I prefer them. There's a pretty good book available devoted to them called "Impressionists in Winter : Effets de Neige" by Charles S. Moffett et. al., ISBN = 0856674958. Those who enjoy the top picture of this post may want to have a look at this book.
