A government panel in Britain has recommended that the Fitzwilliam Museum return Gustave Courbet’s “La Ronde Enfantine,” painted circa 1862, to the heirs of a man who fled the Nazis. Credit… The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.
I savor the deep dark greeniness and people-dwarfing scale of the forest in this painting by Courbet. The syrupy light on the tree trunks is eyeball lickable.

I live in Texas and devote much of my time to easel painting on an amateur basis. I stream a lot of music, mostly jazz, throughout the day. I like to read and memorize poetry.
