For your pleasure, dear friend 🍁
A new artist to me – thank you for taking the time to share this!!
Welcome dear 😊
I must admit I didn’t know this painter. It is interesting to see how his very classical technique was not affected by the development of Impressionism at the same time. Thank you for this introduction.
