Art Lesson

So these posts are totally out of order, but oh well. I had a chance to go to the National Art Gallery with my Sister in Law Jen last Saturday. I have been to several art galleries in Europe and I have to say that this one did compare with some of those. Pretty amazing paintings. My favorites were the Renoir and Monet paintings as you will see by the amount of space I devoted to them below. They allowed me to take pictures of the paintings, so I am going to share my favorites here.

First of all, the art gallery was free. I was surprised by who could appreciate the art in it. Like this guy looking at Leonardo Da Vinci. Who would have thought?

I just liked the outfit the lady had on. It makes me appreciate the turn that fashion has taken. Seriously, how would you function wearing something like this?

This was in one painting. Look closely. Yes those are eyeballs.
