Impressionism: My favorite

I have always loved impressionism.  The brushstrokes and the almost surrealism of the painting, as if you've seen through the eyes of someone who may have had a little too much absinthe to drink.  You have to admit that there is something very charming about Monet, Cezanne, and even Van Gogh's work.  It's one thing to be so precise in your paintings like Van Eycke, but it takes just as much skill to pull off these masterpieces as well:
