I don't have the heart. <br /><br />But these old houses...there's always something going wrong.<br /><br />I like Ritman's work, most especially I think, his use of pattern.<br /><br />At any rate, we needed the rain.<br /><br />Hope all is well by you - water-wise and otherwise. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-65181749717336865452012-04-23T12:28:19.741-04:002012-04-23T12:28:19.741-04:00I did enjoy seeing the beautiful use of light and ...I did enjoy seeing the beautiful use of light and color in this selection of paintings by Louis Ritman, Yvette. <br /><br />Hope all the rian we've been getting didn't cause any problems in your area!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-89128915681706204452012-04-22T12:37:21.999-04:002012-04-22T12:37:21.999-04:00Prashant: Is there a uniform for painters?

But I do agree that it's doubtful he wore a shirt and tie while painting...Although you never know, maybe it was a quirk of his. <br /><br />Ah, painters.

Ritman looks pretty formal — I have never seen a painter sporting a tie before, at least not while dabbling in his art.Prashant C.
