Like most people I can recognise a Monet and a Lowry, but that's about it! I do like the first two pictures in your post by Edouard Cortès, he captures the hussle and bussle in the busy street perfectly.<br /><br />I can imagine how you were glancing over your shoulder whilst taking these pictures!<br /><br />xx<br /><br />Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14933494199087059715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-73470086713825887012015-09-30T06:51:09.456+02:002015-09-30T06:51:09.456+02:00They do make great subjects for paining but now I ...They do make great subjects for paining but now I am on a mission to see if he ever painted any other type of animal!A Green and Rosie Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501989987736281707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-67808232417945679442015-09-29T19:29:22.990+02:002015-09-29T19:29:22.990+02:00Beautiful paintings, horses are such wonderful ani...Beautiful paintings, horses are such wonderful animals.

Cortès had very different styles through his life including water colours and oils. I found some of the oils too harsh but loved his very early oils (the horses collecting seaweed) and many of his landscapes.A Green and Rosie Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501989987736281707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-9656733456877281752015-09-29T10:25:40.703+02:002015-09-29T10:25:40.703+02:00They are lovely old photos that need a grand room ...They are lovely old photos that need a grand room to display them.
