Why Was Boating A Popular Diversion During The Impressionist Period?

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

The impressionists were the first to paint the outdoors while out of the doors! ;o) Up to that time they painted mostly in studios and didn’t get out to paint.
Why so many boats you ask?…
These were pre-aviation times and boats were the most important mode of transportation as well as a status symbol if private. They were a way of life as cars and planes and busses are now. They were a common site.
Impressionism is my favorite style of painting after realism.
Great question!!! ;o)

I’m Looking For A Song From A Tv Ad: Discover Boating (lyrics Begin With “hello, Hello, How Are You…”)

Monday, July 20th, 2009

This Discover Boating ads begins with a nice guitar rift from a song I’ve never heard before. The lyrics mentioned above begin after the rift, and the song plays in the background for most or all of the commercial. Does anybody know the song, band, artist, and if or where you can get it?
