While I don't paint, I love to look at various forms of painting, it's such an expressive medium.
I agree whats your favorite type of painting ?
I'm a big fan of impressionist painters - their still life and landscape paintings are so beautiful. How about you?
I personally dont have a preference at the moment .  But the impressionist painters sounds nice i might have to look into that 
They are quite extraordinary. This type of painting originated in Paris. They were somewhat different for their time and had independent exhibitions, which made them famous.
Very interesting , is there anything else you can tell me about painting ?
The Impressionists were not liked at all by the conventional art people in France and, in fact, their art is still not displayed in the Louvre Museum in Paris!
Oh wow they really must have disliked them if they still dont display it 
Impressionist art has its own museum on the banks of the Seine - much more interesting than the Louvre, imho.
I agree i will have to look into this style of painting thanks for all the info
