Impressionist Painting of People Walking Through the Forest, "Sun Through the Forest"
Enjoying the light of the sun as it trickles through the leaves of the forest, a group of women walk along along a path with foodstuffs atop their heads.

"Very disappointing"
The artist has an obvious talent, but he takes no pride in his work. It is done quickly and shabbily, on a cheap canvas without any great effort. It arrived rolled the wrong side in (paint side up is the proper way) and totally crushed. It was packaged in a thin sheet of rolled corrugated board. The painting looks great in the picture, but it a real let down in real life. It was purchased for a project to represent contemporary international young artists, so I could not return it. This painting needed to be restored and restretched at a great additional cost. I am not happy with the purchase at all!
