Thank you! Yes, I love most of the impressionists, and have done a variety in this style (see my gallery). I especially like Turner, Monet, Manet, Van Gogh, Renior.

Well, even without knowing it, I thought "Turner" when I saw the thumbnail of this picture in my inbox...

Thank you! I heard about this event on the radio on 3 December and immediately thought of Turner's Fighting Temeraire. They described it looking ghostly, emerging from the mist...
