Genius


Today was a quiet day. There were 5 at watercolor class at Studio 2 today. I had taken one of Bobby's huge tomatoes, and one of the Judys brought some squash and peppers. So we had a great still life to work from. It's always fun to see that a roomful of people can all paint the same objects using the same medium, and come up with such different results.

This afternoon, we watched the Simon Schama Rembrandt segment again. We'd missed the first few minutes last night, and John went to bed before it was over. Rembrandt's work is incredible.

The WNBA played tonight, and it's fun to see some of the great players that we watched play for Pat Summitt as Lady Vols - doing well in the pros. The All-Star game is on Sunday (I know the baseball All-Star game is happening tonight, but we're not watching that [sorry, Kate and FJ].)

Today's picture is a reproduction of a Rembrandt drawing of his lady-love, Saskia. The man could say volumes with just a few lines.
