About the Book:

Sketching with Renoir takes the Boudreau family through one year—1947 into 1948—as the U.S. recovers from both the Great Depression and WWII. Ev is an astist. Her husband, Theo, a newly-minted architect, has just complete his first, solo job for a wealthy gentleman named Gerald Keenan.
