I've always been drawn to the paintings of the great Impressionists," Michael Leeds explained recently. "As opposed to the idealized forms and perfect symmetry that was the norm, the Impressionists chose subjects from all walks of life, capturing who they were and what they were doing in that fleeting moment in time. I was especially intrigued by the women in their paintings. What were they thinking? What were they feeling? What was their world like? Writing Impressions gave me the opportunity to enter the world of each painting and imagine the events surrounding the moments captured by these incredible artists."
"Pigs Do Fly Productions is pleased and proud to present the World Premiere of Michael Leeds newest work," says Executive Producer Ellen Wacher. "When he approached me with his ideas during our last production (
Invasion of Privacy), I became excited immediately! By wonderful coincidence that period of art is my favorite. I've worked with Michael - I am, and always have been - a great admirer of his work, and now, after reading the pay, I can hardly wait to see it myself!
