...year-old Chinese robe, fling it off, and plunge into the surf. Occasionally, Hassam even departed from pragmatism, painting such fantasies as Adam and Eve Walking Out on Montauk Point in Early Spring. Whereas Monet in his old age quietly painted his water lilies, the American impressionist traced the rustic tranquillity of the Hamptons' shingled cottages, windmills, and seacoast up to the day he died...
Constitutionals have been a part of Chagall's routine all his life. The country pleases him more than the city; and since 1950, he has lived in rustic Vence, an ancient town of Roman origins perched in the Maritime Alps. Each day, he sorties from the garden of his white-walled studio house, Les Collines (The Hills), past the orange trees whose fruits lie rotting on the ground, along lines of spear-like cypresses and sun-baked terraces exploding with olive trees, down to Avenue Henri Matisse, then cuts off to rocky, flower-lined paths unknown to tourists.

...Rustic & Cantankerous. Romanmo probably studied in nearby Venice. His painting shows that he was conversant with that city's greats, and when he chose, he could paint as splendrously as they-more than one of his pictures has been attributed to Giorgione or Titian.

After-dark activity is limited, but a square dance, movie or concert generally can be found. During the day there is fishing, boating, horseback riding and nature hikes...
...from all over the world: deer from Japan, aoudad rams from North Africa, antelope from India, Corsican rams and the twisted-horn eland from Africa. Since Texas game laws don't protect these exotic animals, there is no special season. For $25 a day the hunter gets clean but rustic accommodations. The animals cost extra?$275 for each animal killed, but $4,000 for an eland...
