ARTIST’S STATEMENT
“I am at liberty to paint flowers and call them flowers, without their needing to tell a story.”
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
“To my mind, a picture should be something pleasant, cheerful, and pretty, yes pretty! There are too many unpleasant things in life as it is without creating still more of them.”
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
