AIS MASTER MEMBERS Bill Schneider AISM Bill shared a quote he likes, attributed to Richard Schmid: ‘People don’t want to know what you SEE, they want to know what YOU see." I want to convey motion, a shorthand, summation, or impression of what I’m seeing as opposed to a tight photograph. I like the broken color/strokes of Impressionists, especially the work of the Russian artists with their broken form, and most notably the work of Nicolai Fechin. It’s accurate and simultaneously loose. The viewer fills in the missing pieces. I try to see how far I can go (to destroy the form) while still keeping the image recognizable.

Impressionism is broken color, everyday subject matter, light and brushwork. Technique and use of light and philosophy for sure. The original Impressionists wanted to capture the prism of light that they saw in nature. They used broken color, juxtaposition of colors to create vibrations in their paintings. I love the Russian and New England impressionists. There is an earthy quality to their colors which I find appealing.
The ability to evoke emotion or a sense of light, atmosphere, and space through brushwork and paint application.
C. W. Mundy AISM The original intent came from Claude Monet in response to being asked for a title of a painting for an exhibition. He responded with the painting title “Impression, Sunrise” of the sunrise over Le Havre, a harbor town on the French Normandy coast. Nevertheless, a broader interpretation of Impressionism has morphed into what I would call “energetic realism”. In my discoveries, at first glance, the painting seems to be realistic, but looking at the inner parts of all its forms, it is very charismatic in paint manipulation
