    You do like Smulka a lot, don't you?

    Claude Monet - Etretat

    I love his way off painting the movement in the water, and the way he paints light.

    I collect colored glass so I guess I'm smitten with some of these because he seems obsessed with painting pictures of glass. Glass is one of those things that people take for granted but it is beautiful.

    I do think some of his pictures are rather cold though so I don't like all of them.
