Michele and Marvin,
If Renoir was a clumsy and muddy painter, I wish I was as clumsy as Renoir. this painting is so alive! To me, one of the great paintings of the world (I'm sorry to be a little off-topic here, this one is not in the Met)

P. S. If Bouguereau knocks on the door I will give him my brushes to wash
And he may clean my palette too!
