It's very interesting. However, I always thought that one of the gentlemen in the boaters was Gustave Caillebotte...the gentlemen sitting down. I think I read that somewhere. I am not quite sure where I got that info. It would make sense, since Renior and Caillebotte were friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-17483387059559171502007-07-18T13:45:00.000-06:002007-07-18T13:45:00.000-06:00Julie Marie: Thank you for giving me more of an ap...Julie Marie: Thank you for giving me more of an appreciation of this painting as I have seen it before!You have given this painting a ~soul~ in the way we look at it now!You read and lived it through reading Vreeland's book and sharing with us!<BR/><BR/>I thank you also for reading my sad words regarding the~Fallen Angel~ that I posted about..she touched me deeply and I appreciate that you felt the same after reading my post.<BR/>I am deeply touched that I am listed under your~kindred spirits~<BR/>Hello ~kindred spirit~ it is my pleasure meeting YOU! <BR/>hugging you NGNaturegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00177418253271097079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-68503449646780820582007-07-18T09:06:00.000-06:002007-07-18T09:06:00.000-06:00Ok, with your description I am so ready for this b...Ok, with your description I am so ready for this book!

I will reserve it if I can. He's a favorite painter of mine, and one of my happiest memories was visiting the National Gallery during a special exhibit and MOMA and seeing some actual paintings of his. Thank you for sharing some of the story with us.<BR/>You asked about the phlox. I don't do anything special, other than occasionally divide them. I think the old fashioned ones are easier to grow than the newer varieties. I have a few of those too, and they aren't as prolific and seem a little pickier about where they grow, which is a shame, because I have one white one that I love. It's beautiful. Hopefully I will remember to take a photograph while it's blooming so you can see it. <BR/>Take care.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147259175811183482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-15485248592776911932007-07-17T22:54:00.000-06:002007-07-17T22:54:00.000-06:00What a wonderful and heartfelt book review!

I have to say reading your review and synopsis of the book was a joy in itself. Your flair for the written word reads, itself, like a novel. I truly need to get back to reading more...my powers of concentration are used doing art during the day...then when I go to read at night I get about 2 pages in and I either drift in thought or drift to sleep.<BR/>I need to make TIME just for reading.<BR/>Thank you for sharing this.<BR/>XOXOLisa Oceandreamer Swifkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10447207923190618328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-79782621387788124162007-07-17T21:39:00.000-06:002007-07-17T21:39:00.000-06:00You make me "hungry" for the "Luncheon" book.
