If I will have to select a few dozen of painting, this one will be in that group, I found this painting on canvas about 10 years ago at the Salvation Army, this was a good time, not so many art collector around.
In the manner of Impressionist style, in very strong way a "Monet" look like painting, this huge painting depicted a French or Italian cafe scenery, very colourful in a modern frame with gold leafs applied, absolutely gorgeous painting, many peoples in the cafe, lot of flowers pots, chairs, umbrella, all this very well executed by a talented artist, sign at the bottom left"Miguel"

This painting canvas measure 40.25 inch by 30.25 inch with frame 47.50 inch by 38 inch.

Many Thanks Everyone for Viewing.

-----------------------------------Impressionism------------------------------------

Impressionism is an art movement originated in Paris in late 19th century. Impressionism caught eyes of many critics, but mostly for the wrong reasons. The thin brush strokes, common and ordinary subjects, unusual angles etc are some features of this style of art painting. Outdoor sceneries of landscapes and even streets became settings for impressionist painters.

If you look closely at impressionist paintings, you will find that black is a color that is rarely used. For dark tones, complementary colors were mixed and used. The artists were very keen about making the color and reflection right for every object on the canvas. More importance was given to natural lighting. Impressionist paintings were even considered as an alternative to photography, which then lacked the luxury of colors.
