Two days of sun and the fishermen are out.

After the dark Dutch palette Van Gogh came to Paris and saw the impressionist and what they were using. The Light palette. He began to take in a world of light.

Painting near this river is southern France he was able to capture more of the light and put it on his canvas.

His choppy brush strokes are his trade mark. the flow of the river is indicated by the fast moving brush stroke. The trees are light a airy with the points and dab of texture.

So we have had two warm days in Ohio this week and look out fishermen and boaters are making their way to the lake.

Keep your  brushes wet and your fish in the bucket.
