Today, I thought I would highlight the work of an artist I've admired for many years. <a href="http://www.lucleestemaker.com/"> Luc Leestemaker</a>, a Dutch artist, now residing in California, is known best for his abstract landscapes. These are just a small sample of his beautiful paintings. If you live in the Boston area and would like to see more of Luc's work in person, check out <a href="http://www.galerie-dorsay.com/">Galerie d'Orsay's</a> current exhibition, running from now until July 25, 2011.  And, if you go, please let me know what you thought!  Otherwise, to see more, just click <a href="http://www.lucleestemaker.com/">over here</a>!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB828oexGRF3-ie7wYp-bK6hpxCwpELIGsu7K_Fj34gMGINbKXnO7I7b-q0EuSOCsCt-Nd_f81D7ShYIjJ7OHre8BIiKdwwS0J17SYrQfEcv4Z_WLh4JpXHR6upomxk_VfIW1BGCF-f1yV/s1600/5528.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB828oexGRF3-ie7wYp-bK6hpxCwpELIGsu7K_Fj34gMGINbKXnO7I7b-q0EuSOCsCt-Nd_f81D7ShYIjJ7OHre8BIiKdwwS0J17SYrQfEcv4Z_WLh4JpXHR6upomxk_VfIW1BGCF-f1yV/s400/5528.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZl0CAn2kCsyhKodEARn08q-ZAQycB-3xNocT6Ckhzu0xFAIuK07rxcwpNnZbmy4lr2imRYT218lE37k6FS2EPRGTS5NhVYFhqU5ZPNWy0PxNfvTMIkz4zQ3wPrV8Khd3TO3X7b0DcQ2Yz/s1600/5510.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZl0CAn2kCsyhKodEARn08q-ZAQycB-3xNocT6Ckhzu0xFAIuK07rxcwpNnZbmy4lr2imRYT218lE37k6FS2EPRGTS5NhVYFhqU5ZPNWy0PxNfvTMIkz4zQ3wPrV8Khd3TO3X7b0DcQ2Yz/s400/5510.jpg" width="382" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9D4npVswLlKV8jc5Pv2JkLVCK5G8ImoXR7O-ZvNRIJs1z2-QJlnYulKaPc9fi6MIvVdAVwraRMZHXtpu73aeq0wiCwOWIR_z3Ygp0i1gs6pHJmxWhSLnZ9ZhwsgDfYB_Xm1pWv1mlJKAH/s1600/5519.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9D4npVswLlKV8jc5Pv2JkLVCK5G8ImoXR7O-ZvNRIJs1z2-QJlnYulKaPc9fi6MIvVdAVwraRMZHXtpu73aeq0wiCwOWIR_z3Ygp0i1gs6pHJmxWhSLnZ9ZhwsgDfYB_Xm1pWv1mlJKAH/s1600/5519.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrZ1VGRvfM6lMyYhpeyIdmxIftX4BKzckMKJNL3deMswaaLlLeihhrW_Tj1iXNoxPE33_kbxOK1U7hmZr1TxhBJpYtUaJz2QGOmd3vRbarcyKomOC4gLA5MWmhf02vEtP68rsqlE96KH_-/s1600/5518.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrZ1VGRvfM6lMyYhpeyIdmxIftX4BKzckMKJNL3deMswaaLlLeihhrW_Tj1iXNoxPE33_kbxOK1U7hmZr1TxhBJpYtUaJz2QGOmd3vRbarcyKomOC4gLA5MWmhf02vEtP68rsqlE96KH_-/s400/5518.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div>
