    It was at times like these that Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s son Claude wished he had been born in Texas, where boys are boys…

    “I know we don’t really dress up like this but that painter wanted us to look ‘natural’. "

    /// “Summer Landscapes” with green grass and trees.

    Renoir painted so many of these.

    Gladys couldn’t believe it. She took her little girl’s advice and got a great deal on the new car.

    “Mom, Dad……Why are you making me poise for this picture with Geraldine? In the future, everyone is going to think she’s my child! Can’t we just call her Ooops?”

    Too many people forget that the car dealer is there to sell you the loan and not the car.

    Sweetie, don’t ever ask daddy again why you heard our bed squeaking so much at night, he will make us go for a long walk so I can explain it to you, and you aren’t old enough. Just know your father is a cheap *&$% who won’t buy a good bed.

    I don’t see the connection between the caption and the painting.

    There’s no denying Renoir’s a genius, but it’s hard to explain why the little girl’s feet are the same size as the woman’s.

    has info and links that point to more info about this painting. Per usual when one is there, the References link (in this case the ID number link) has a description.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2994 (September 14, 2022) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 13 works by this artist have been used here. The February 7, 2022, strip has the prior.

    “Yes, the bloom broach is beautiful, dear, but you shouldn’t have taken it from the neighbour’s prize Petunia plant. Please stick to the meadow flowers like I just showed you.”

    we are going for a long walk deep into the woods and then play hide and seek, then you find your way back in time for dinner and it will be dark but don’t worry.

    A car?

    Yes – they aren’t available for the general public yet; which is why it makes more sense to have monthly payments.

    By the time the loan is paid off, there might actually be a car for us!
