On Saturday I visited the Phillips Collection in Washington DC. I was struck again by what is perhaps their most famous painting, Luncheon of the Boating Party by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. It is large, animated, brilliantly colored, and depicts a fun scene with recognizable people (if you've studied impressionist art history) painted in 1880-1881. Every time I visit the Phillips Collection I am wowed by this painting. It's beautiful!
Of course, there are many other great paintings in the collection, ones you will recognize from art books you may have seen.
You can see some of my 3-D paintings on my website at www.jayrolfe.com/.
