A Victorian scene (A May Morning in the Park) by American realist Thomas Eakins, painted 1880.

This was at the museum, also. I can't help wanting to share these, I know it's off topic a little. But they give you such a window into the past.

Thanks for bringing a bit of high culture to our down to earth hole Sam. ;^)

What museum did you go to? I must not have been paying attention a few days ago...I can't remember!

I love looking at paintings...looking at pictures of them isn't quite the same. I was fortunate enough to have a chance to go to several of the big art museums in Paris when I was there a few years back. THAT was incredible! I didn't have as much time as I would have liked, though. It's nice to be able to just stand in front of a painting and take it in, notice all the details and colors and light, really get to know it.
