Beautiful post, Sue. Another thing that the impressionists did uniquely, and that comes from being in the moment, was observe the colour/temperature of light - how say blue in shade was so different in the sun. The under layers would reflect this. It was so counterintuitive- a bright blue sky having an under layer (they had many actually) of bright orange to reflect the warmth of the blue. Ingenious I say!
Love how you tied your message to impressionist art. The idea of being in the moment was the life of the creator artist, being in your imagination. I will admit to spending a solid minute pondering the Woman with a Parasol. Gosh that painting draws me in.
Near me there is a sculpture garden called Grounds for Sculpture. There is a restaurant next to the recreation of Monet’s Lily Pond. I’ve sat on the patio and felt like I was in the painting - divine!
I love this Suzy! I’m in awe of how the impressionists used their skill to get us deeper into life -how amazing that looking at a painting can evoke that, or sitting by a lily pond. So good!

Wow! I had no idea about this, Arpit. A detail within a detail, capturing an unarticulated effect we see. Super cool.
