I love Renoir and his painting, Luncheon of the Boating Party. I have stood in front of it and loved it......not the least reason being that the man seated at the far right of the painting is Gustavo Caillebotte, who painted Paris Street; Rainy Day. I once followed a group of school children around the Chicago Art Institute, so I could listen to the docent talk about the paintings. Fascinating.

What was the gist of the kids’ impressions of the paintings?

He painted all his friends. The girl with the puppy is his wife.
