ART OF AUGUST
Few artists loved nature like Impressionist Alfred Sisley. His Meadow is visual poetry, unifying the earthly sphere of the countryside with a heaven-like display of delicate clouds sailing above. While in the spacious field below, two tiny figures in blue, pause to pick multi-colored wild flowers for a summer bouquet.
