The week between Christmas and New Years. Lazy, Laaazy days. We are eating too much, playing with new toys and napping as much as possible. In between I am looking at American Impressionist landscape paintings. It's because NYC during the cold winter is basically a bummer. No pretty winter landscape to enjoy just black snow piles dotted with litter. There is something about winter landscapes that allow me slow down and think peacefully. And as for surviving a NYC winter...a good remedy is to simply look up. Remember to look up at the sky often.
Artists from the top; Walter Laurnt Palmer, John Henry Twachtman, Ernest Lawson. All images found here.

I love these American Impressionist landscape paintings! I imagine N.Y winter and ..wooww..! too cold! here it's warmer, but we are wearing scarf and gloves too -and also eating too much these days- :))!
kisses!
The reason you slow down and think peacefully during winter is because that is what nature is doing. It is slowing down and thinking about Spring.
I love the images you chose - very nice. Enjoy your laaaazy week :)
Muy guapo, precioso. Feliz 2010 que disfrutes de muchos hermosos paisajes
