September 2017

I saw a documentary on Rembrandt at Hot Docs yesterday.

My kid has moved to Holland and I am going to Amsterdam for Thanksgiving. Am I lucky or what !!! Maybe some Van Rijn will rub off on me !

By J. M. W. Turner – National Gallery London, Public Domain

This month I traveled to the AGO  to see “Painting Set Free”, an exhibition of the work by J.W Turner (1775-1851). His sketchbooks were astonishing! They are the greatest treasure of the Tate Gallery. He made thousands of sketches and they are sublime. It was a complete surprise to me and very inspiring. Turner worked in watercolor and oil , the sketchbooks well illustrate the transition. They are the key to his signature paintings.
