Autumn, Morning Mist, Éragny-sur-Epte 1902

Camille Pissarro made "Autumn, Morning Mist, Éragny-sur-Epte" with oil on canvas, capturing a landscape in soft, muted tones. You can almost see him there, squinting slightly in the cool morning air, trying to capture the light as it shifts through the mist. The paint is applied in these small, deliberate strokes, almost like he’s knitting the scene together, bit by bit. It's not about grand gestures here, but a patient accumulation of marks, a method that feels so intimate. There's a real sense of him, standing there, working, trying to make sense of it all, and translate it onto the canvas. I really get a sense of kinship with Pissarro in his dedication to everyday scenes, elevating the ordinary through observation and a sensitivity to color and light. It’s the kind of painting that reminds you that art-making is a form of thinking, a way of experiencing the world, and of being in it.
