"First one has to love nature with all ones heart and soul, and be able to study and admire it for hours on end. Everything is in nature. A plant, a leaf, a blade of grass, should be the subjects of infinite and fruitful meditations; for the artist, a cloud floating in the sky has form, and the form affords him joy, helps him think."

Virtual Lectures and Exhibitions

October 26, 2022

As a fan of the master painter  John Singer Sargent , I’ll be looking forward to seeing the exhibition at the National Gallery of Art this November with my good friend Eric Alexander Santoli. The show has about 120 of Sargent oils, watercolors, and drawings, many of which are rarely exhibited. And while you’re at it, check out the  Vermeer exhibit running till January 8, 2023


Here are some cool lectures coming up,
