Impressed by a Realist

EDINBURGH, Scotland, U.K.
National Gallery of Scotland

I paid £8 to enjoy the "Impressionism and Scotland" exhibit at the National Gallery of Scotland. Paid an additional £2 for an audio guide (very much worth it). Enjoyed works by Manet, Cezzane, E.A. Walton, Alfred Sisley, and John Lavery. I find it amusing that in an Impressionism exhibit I find myself drawn to a Realist, Jules Bastien-Lepage and his Pas Mèche (Nothing Doing). For me, it's the eyes, staring right at me, carefree but at the same time seemingly curious to get to know me as much as I'd like to get to know him.
