Lawrence just finished telling me all about his trip to LA and Las Vegas with L4. He said he had a great time. While in LA he got to see Malibu, Hollywood and Laguna Beach and he loved Santa Monica where L4 lives. They went to four art museums and saw some great paintings. He was particularly excited to see some nice paintings by the California Impressionists. The above painting "Incoming Tide" is by Guy Rose who many consider the greatest of the California impressionists. He spent time in the American art colony in Giverny painting alongside Monet. Lawrence also saw paintings by Payne, Redmond, Wendt, and Braun among others. All of these artists interpreted the California light in vibrant high key colors. Now that the spring colors are just beginning to show here in Virginia ,Lawrence is hoping to get out soon to do some painting. I like to go along with him and bark encouragement while he diligently applies paint to the canvas.
