"Seascape," Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1879.

Y'all know Renoir. This is a great dramatic painting, not the usual Renoir style as he did few seascapes. On one hand, it's almost pretty in its gray, blue, violet, and green, but at the same time, the crashing waves and dark clouds give it a drama that's almost worthy of the Romantics.

Some find this canvas overly pretty and tame, but to me, this is the wildness of the sea through Renoir's lens.

From the Art Institute of Chicago.

"The Artist's Garden in Giverny," Claude Monet, 1900.

You all know Monet. This is a perfect painting for today; where I am, irises are starting to come out, and I always loved the smell of them. Monet loved his garden and loved painting it, as you can see.

Happy Flower Friday!
