This is another in my series of Hopperesque paintings. Hopper painted lonely scenes, even when there were multiple figures as there are here, much the same but seemingly unawares. Based on a scene I came across in Ghent, Belgium last summer, as I stood in a museum looking out the window.

We went to the Musée Marmottan Monet (Paris) to see the first exhibition ever about Julie Manet (1878-1966). Her impressionist paintings, her collection of paintings, sculptures, pastels, watercolours, and engravings. They were gathered from museums and private collectors, many shown in public for the first time. Julie Manet was the only daughter of the first female Impressionist Berthe Morisot, one of my favorites, and Eugene Manet, also a painter and brother of Édouard Manet. Here a few of my favorites.
