Camille Pissarro in Illinois?

Two images, the first taken on a walk yesterday near my home in Illinois. This is the northern part of the state in early spring.

The second is one of my favorite Pissarro landscapes, Chestnut Trees at Osny, painted in northern France circa 1873.

That coincidence makes me happy.

  1. Chestnut Trees at Osny is one of my favourite paintings too and reminds me very much of the Snowy Monaro region where I live, especially the cottonwood trees at historic Micalago Station. If I can find a photo of this landscape you will be amazed by the similarity I am sure! Well I know Pissaro was not in Australia but it is a reminder of how beautiful this area is…
