I have a slew of these peach studies coming. They are not very thrilling, just some of the requisite slogging necessary for progress. To compensate I will offer this interesting anecdote: Renoir once had a side job painting religious scenes on Venetian blinds for Christian missionaries to use in the tropics in their conversion of natives. That is a pretty good story (true), I may have made a mistake and started at the top.
Very nice, Jean. I like the dark values in your peaches.
