Apologies! I have not had time to update this site for rather a while, but please do look at all the old posts as they are all relevant and interesting and sometimes unknown aspects of those gifted group of men, the Impressionists. They were called Impressionists by a quirk of fate; an art critic who attended their first exhibition took the name from Monet's Impression: Sunrise which the critic said was very much like a design for bad wallpaper...and of course one can buy that wallpaper today!
News is that I am still talking about my novel CLAUDE & CAMILLE: A NOVEL OF MONET this year and in 2013, and dates can be found on my website. I am speaking in New Jersey twice this June and in Manhattan in July, etc. Other news for those in the New York City area is that the Botanical Gardens has replicated part of the Giverny Gardens and it is gorgeous. Do go if you can!
