Recently in my studio I had a very knowledgeable man looking at my work. He walked around and asked me “what kind of painting is this?”
“I am an impressionist painter.”
“What is that? What does that mean?”
“You know how some people create paintings so realistic you can’t believe they are not photographs?” I asked him.
“Yes I have seen those. That is cool.”
“Well I am not that kind of painter. I paint an impression of a scene, or a place. Like a small view or glimpse of life as I see it… to paint a small impression of our time, like a memory.”
“Oooh.”
