1980

The art scene around the time I was born.

wicked

I wish I could have seen this with my (wicked) sister.

I am so glad that I am able to catch the show, I really wanted to see a play while I am out here. So much that I would have compromised to see Oliver or Avenue Q (again), but by chance (and a lot of help from Tani and Matt), I was able to see what I really wanted to begin with--with good seats too!

the kiss

Surprisingly, what I liked most in the Tate Modern was a sculpture.

And while everyone else was shamelessly taking photos, I very guiltily took one--then another. Then I couldn't bear to take another. It felt like I was robbing the museum.

I am still uncomfortable over the fact that I took those photos. And as a result I am posting a museum produced photograph. It is interesting how my favorite painting and favorite sculpture are named the same :)

girl with dove

I think I have some new favorites, I don't want to do just one entry for all of them though, so I'd start with what caught my fancy the most first. It is surprising that while I liked a fair set from the thirty must see paintings in The National Gallery, the one I liked the most was not on that list. I could well imagine looking at this every day. I wanted to get a canvas print, but after seeing the real one, it would never be the same.

sunflowers

Today was an exciting day, and I want to write so much about this fabulous--over the top day. However, I think I should save all the other stuff for my next blog entries. Today's story is about seeing the actual painting. Ta-da!
