Spring is here or at least that's what the calender says. Wednesday March 20th was the official First Day of Spring. My house thermometer say it's 36 Degrees Fahrenheit . It sure does not feel like spring. At least the sky is blue. Oh how I missed those blue skies.
Featured Artist of the Week
John Constable
(1776-1837)
Romanticism, Landscape Art
John Constable looked at nature itself for inspiration, not art. Often sketching his landscapes in the open air. He was the first to do this with oil paint. " When I sit down to make a sketch from nature the first thing I try to do is to forget that I have ever seen a picture."-John Constable
