MFA has new stuff




I was recently at the MFA and I was lost... I can walk in from the front or side and have a routine of seeing different categories. I was ridiculously confused when I found doors being shut off and new ones being opened. I was very excited to see new sculptures in the Greek and Roman wing. Seeing that I am trying to get more in-tune with the sculpture and looking up to other artists is life changing... there were sculptures and reliefs I remembered learning last semester. I was very satisfied that I could run my hand over the marble. Its the most amazing feeling seeing a piece of art you've always dreamt of seeing in person. I think its like meeting a famous singer like Paul McCartney or something.

I loved seeing Homer paintings and it was beautiful how he works with thick oils and that is something that I've been trying to stretch my skills by the paint thickness and style. I think I could live at the MFA...
