My Studio Garden 1938

Lucien Pissarro painted "My Studio Garden" with oil on canvas, and it’s just lovely. I mean, look at how he's built this whole world with little dabs of color. It's like he's not just painting what he sees, but also how he feels being there. The surface of the painting has so much going on. It’s not smooth at all, you can almost feel the texture of the leaves and the rough wood of the fence. Check out the way he layers blues and greens, creating depth, but also a kind of hazy atmosphere, like you're looking at the garden through a heat shimmer. See how the fence leads your eye into the space? It's not just a barrier, but a pathway to an unseen place. Pissarro reminds me of Bonnard, with his domestic scenes and obsession with color. It’s like they’re both showing us that art is not just about capturing a scene, but about living in it, breathing it, and letting it change you.
