I will have to wait until I get home (I am writing this at work) to get the book details which I will let you have tomorrow.LizFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-52042552632971147402011-07-11T08:42:54.365-04:002011-07-11T08:42:54.365-04:00Rick29: Yes, she was heavily influenced by the Fre...Rick29: Yes, she was heavily influenced by the French Impressionists.
