Dance at Bougival ...

 Dance at Bougival :1883 Pierre-Auguste Renoir ( 1841- 1919 ) was a French artist who represented the  Impressionist  movement...As an artist he adored and appreciated the beauty 

and sensuality of a woman..... I hold very warm memories of this painter because my grandmother was a keen artist and did many interpretations of his work. I shall never forget whilst dining with my brother next to a rather nosy couple who were not interacting with each other; but

just earwigging on us instead. One shall never forget their facial expressions when Dom was waffling on about how thrilled he was to have inherited the Renoir from our grandmother, and curious to know who would get the Lautrec !! I adore the way Renoir has painted this couple. Oooo the way he holds her. His adoring intensity, he is only focusing on her alone. Wow ! He is entranced  by her beauty, her scent, the very being of her. Lucky cow !!! She looks a little shy. Her blushing face is illuminated and enhanced by her vibrant red hat. Her beauty is seen at the centre of the canvas.Though she appears bashful you can tell she is responding to his advances by her relaxed hand that is gently positioned on his collar and the coy sanguine smile on her face. His outfit is fab. I love his shoes and yellow hat. Trés à la mode!  Ooo to feel how she feels. To be held in the arms of some lush French fruity artisan type ...Oh la la !!
