Kim Stenberg

Many thanks to the very fine northern Virginia impressionist painter Kim Stenberg for her comments this morning. The inauguration day paintings she refers to can be found at veryrichhours.com/inauguration-day-2009/. (Incidentally, they required six weeks, not six months, of sketches and studies before the first completed painting.) And if you’re new here, probably the easiest way to keep up with all of this is to like the Very Rich Hours Facebook page. (Thanks!)
