Yesterday we visited one of our favorite art collections in Paris at Musee l’Orangerie. This art amassed by artist and dealer Paul Guillaume consists of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings. There are a few new paintings each time we visit and dozens of familiar ones. Here are a few favorites (if you click on them you should see larger images):

Renoir’s Women and Girls

Cezanne’s Provencal Landscapes

Soutine’s Villages

A Picasso we had not seen before:

Of course l’Orangerie is famous as housing Monet’s eight huge panels of waterlilies. Here is a sample:

After the museum we explored the Tuileries. Jean did some painting:

I watched the birds diving for minnows:

Back at home we were greeted by the beautiful hibiscus in the courtyard.

JP made a tasty beet risotto for dinner. We talked until we all began to nod off and then retired for the night. Another great day.
