My kids and I stood in the rain for 5 hours to get in the door. But it was worth it. <BR/>I also got to see Andrew Wyeth's exhibition in New Orleans. I actually have several prints (cheap prints) by Wyeth and his father NC Weyth. I would like one by Jamie so I could have my Wyeth wall <BR/><BR/>My favorite period I suppose though is the baroque. I love Caravaggio, however I guess I really don't have favorites. I loved teaching Roman period, they were such builders.By Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13354290886936308105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-1143691736930620892006-03-30T05:08:00.000+01:002006-03-30T05:08:00.000+01:00Is there any more news on the Warthog?Is there any more news on the Warthog?Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733517166056974501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-1143671080830649272006-03-29T23:24:00.000+01:002006-03-29T23:24:00.000+01:00I would love to see that painting in person.I do h...I would love to see that painting in person.<BR/><BR/>I do have a painting I love.

I remember "studying" his paintings in art class in third grade. I do a lot of elementary pointilism in my Photoshopping... not that the photos I post are altered in any way, of course.<BR/><BR/>When I was in grad school in Washington D.C., there was an exhibit of Vermeer paintings on tour. I stood in line for two hours in the snow (during a pause in the Blizzard of '98), and was frozen from top to toe by the time it was my turn to see the paintings. I don't know if it was the cold or what, but my senses were particularly heightened that day. The light in Vermeer's paintings dazzled my eyes. It was then that I truly realized that a photographic copy of a painting is only a "bookmark" in the mind. I had been going to museums for years (I grew up outside of Washington, D.C., where the museums are free), but it was Vermeer changed my eyes.<BR/><BR/>One of my favorite paintings: <A HREF="http://gallery.euroweb.hu/art/v/vermeer/03b/21wjug.jpg" REL="nofollow">Woman With a Waterjug</A>.Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733517166056974501noreply@blogger.com
