however, this is definitely my favorite piece in her collection, another john singer sargent. i love the painting itself, but i also love where she (i assume) placed it in the house, and the mirror hanging at the end of the painting so it looks to go on forever.

full circle with the houses and paintings and whatnot.
I’ve got to get back to that museum, I’ve only been once and it was a few years ago.  I might even get in for free? not really sure. surely with that terrible smell a hole adjacent the museum emits they owe me some compensation.  9:30 classes at the end of a long week have the potential to be hard enough without wanting to puke a little bit.
