Essex Cat Boat from South Cove - morningAs a former art student, I can never get away from first falling in love with the works of Manet, Monet, Degas & Renoir. There is something so magical and transcendent about this style of painting. One of Connecticut's best in this genre is Leif Nilsson. Originally from Old Lyme, CT - a town that could be described as a painting itself, Leif now resides in the other quintessential Connecticut River Valley town of Chester. I don't pretend to begin to have this kind of talent but am certainly inspired by someone making mucho dinero doing something they love. Below are the artist and his studio.

what a delightful blog! i have enjoyed reading your posts!
Thanks Lydee! I actually had the day off - it was gorgeous here in Connecticut. Spring has sprung! Gotta run and buy my 14 yr. old some new capri pants. That means trying on every pair she can find within a 20 mile radius of course - have a great weekend.
Marie,
Thanks for stopping by the 'Post. I am so glad you did. You have a beautiful and rich blog here. It's wonderful that you are sharing your interests with us. I will definitely be back. The depth and affection with which you post is inspiring.
marie louise - thanks for stoping by my blog. We had a great time in CT - it's where my youngest daughter lives now as a nanny. We didn't make it to Mohghan Sun although we heard about it. Hubby had fun playing a cash tournament at Foxwood (which is what he wanted to do).
I will stop by your blog often. I wanted to respond via email, but couldn't find an address. We are currently in the process of finding the perfect location to purchase a b&b - that's our soul feeding dream job. Thanks for the reminder :) g
Thank you for stopping by my blog. Your blog is beautiful and I will stop by often.
You asked about my photos...I had to change them to sepia thru my photo software. I use to have a camera that took B&W photos BUT I dropped it on my fornt porch...concrete and cameras don't mix well! :-(
Have a great day!
