8649. wabbit - 9/9/2008 2:04:03 AM Saw JMW Turner at the Met this past Friday. I'm a big fan of Turner, so I enjoyed the show immensely. I'd seen many of the paintings in the UK, but to see them all together was quite something. I especially love his watercolors and late paintings, and they had a few "unfinished" pieces which allow you to see the process. Very interesting and informative.
Will have to make the trip again to see Morandi, and I also want to see The Horse exhibit at the Natural History Museum. Yes, I was one of those girls. Still am.
The other good news (for me, anyway) was the Bolt Bus. I can get from Boston to NYC for the day and not spend more than about $70 RT including a cheap lunch. Not that I'm a huge fan of buses, but if I don't have to drive down, pay for gas, tolls and parking, then drive home, I'm there! If I wanted to drag my laptop along, I could plug it in to the back of the seat in front of me, which several passengers were doing. What was most interesting was that there doesn't seem to be a set route for the driver. The trip down was completely different from the trip back. Near as I can tell, the driver is free to go however he/she knows, and as long as the departure and arrival times work, nobody cares what the route details are. 8650.

There are three Morandi lectures associated with the show. I've read the Wilkin book and wasn't impressed, but the other two seem promising to me.

[ Well, maybe a sunset on a mountain top or a sunny day at the beach or . . . or a brilliant painting . . . or . . .] 8654. thoughtful - 9/12/2008 8:57:44 PM A sample of my cousin's work.
He used to do a lot of portraiture with the surreal bent, but he had trouble getting people to buy his art. He has since found success and happiness in a new medium....tats:
