Art Notes
Gazing takes us to just such an exquisite French vista as inspired the original Impressionists. A lithe, graceful young lady, dressed in white and wearing a bonnet, gazes out across a glittering lake toward a distant village. She stands under a single, slender tree, entirely absorbed in the scene that captures her gaze. The mood is one of breathless anticipation. It is not only the girl who holds her breath in order to enter into the perfect tranquility of the moment; it is us as well. As she gazes at far horizons, we, in turn, gaze at her, hoping to join in her beautiful world.
