Not offhand, but you might try searching for “California plein air”, rather than “California Impressionist”

Obviously, I agree. Other readers should check out Peter Yesis' blog <em><a href="http://dailypaintingpractice.blogspot.com/">Daily Painting Practice</a></em>, which is also on my list for the "not quite painting a day" post. It often includes photos of his work in several stages of finish. Peter also has a <a href="http://www.peteryesisart.com">gallery site</a>, although it seems to be hampered by some kind of page load limit that makes it difficult to view the entire gallery. Peter,

(The <em><a href="http://www.barnesfoundation.org/">Barnes Foundation</a></em> here in Philadelphia has a surprising number of boring Renoirs.) Sisley, on the other hand, can capture my attention time and again with his quiet but astonishingly perceptive eye.

It's hard to believe someone so talented could be slighted for so long. It's understandable that Monet would be crowned the leader of the group. He was its driving force, pushing the others to work harder and not give up. But, how the heck did Renoir make it to second banana? I'd take a Sisley over a Renoir any day.
