Bright American afternoons

William Merritt Chase

Loose and quick and mostly sunlit. Children at the seaside, a girl in a park, a vase of azaleas, a table of fish. He painted fast and left the brush showing.

As a puzzle

Sand and sky take up a lot of the beach scenes, so those ask more of you than the still lifes do. The azaleas and the fish are the easy way in.

A good size here: 100–300 pieces.
