I've been looking forward to making this post because Renoir is one of my favourite painters. I went to an exhibition of his work when I was studying to be a teacher. It totally blew me away! I hope you will enjoy his paintings as much as I do.
Here are some more of my favourites:

When I was studying to be a teacher, I had to do an assignment about the value of copying work by renowned artists.
Here is my copy done in pastels of a detail of 'Dance in Bougavil':

Next is my copy of a detail from 'Sleeping Girl' also done in pastels:

I hope you can see why and how much I admire Renoir!
A Little About the Artist, Renoir
Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841 - 1919) was an 'Impressionist'. He painted ordinary people in day-to-day situations with such flair and beauty that it takes my breath away.
Wikipedia says,
"Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement characterized by relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles."

You have a good eye Ma'am.
My mother was an artist. I remember her showing me how to draw a baby sitting using pastels. She was emphasising how to capture potential energy and movement which obviously isn't there in a 'still'
Thanks for showing more of your artistic creations.

My mum is an artist too but she doesn't talk to me anymore and never showed me anything to do with art anyway. She went to art school.
Calling me ma'am sounds like you're an American. Hope the weather is better with you than it is here. UK summer is over I think.

In psychology, genetic memory is a memory present at birth that exists in the absence of sensory experience, and is incorporated into the genome over long spans of time.

I remember when in art history class, Renoir and many other impressionists making, well.. a big impression on me :) They were the first to stray from classical painting and that was a pretty bold move back then. Saying anything is possible, really :)
And good pastels too! Very soft and subtle :)

Thanks for commenting. I never thought of them as history but, of course, they are.
