Travel Day 3: Art in Paris
16 maggio 2023, Francia ⋅ ☀️ 46 °F
I KNOW. A photo (or a postcard or a print) won’t do them justice, but here’s some of the art that moved me today.
1. I stumbled on the Tunnel des Tuileries by accident this morning. I saw hundreds of peie on bicycles today. This tunnel is covered in art - this was one of my favorites.
2. L’Air du Soir, Henri-Edmond Cross
3. A different version of Starry Night. I think this was painted before the famous one at MOMa, before he became so ill.
4. I don’t know what this is; it was at the Musee D’Orsay in the cafe where I had lunch. I liked all of the women musicians.
5. This is so life-like in person! Chrysanthèmes dans un vase, Henri Fantin-Latour
6. Mosaic feature on random building
7. Le Faune dansant, Eugène-Louis Lequesne in the Jardin du Luxembourg
8. Le Poète - Hommage à Paul Éluard, also in Luxembourg GardensLeggi altro

A impressionist smorgasbord!

Van Gogh, Gaugin, Monet, Manet, Pissarro, Renoir, Degas, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, Sisley and Cezanne and there may be others I can’t remember. It was a fabulous collection to see in one place and there were a number we had never seen before which was an added bonus.Leggi altro
Viaggiatore Ballerinas in blue were a favourite of mine…

Viaggiatore Degas’ ballerinas in blue was also a favourite of mine and not one I had previously seen, along with the Degas brass sculpture of a young ballerina - the only sculpture of Degas that has ever been exhibited

A sunny day to go to the MO.
7 marzo, Francia ⋅ ☀️ 6 °C
I promised myself I’d play tourist for a day. After the disaster of the archives, it will recharge my batteries. Today is my favorite museum—the Musée d’Orsay. I like to walk across the Tuileries to get to the museum. It’s always pleasant. I was stunned again at the flooding. It made me wonder about how much water flooded Paris in 1910. That flood jumped the banks of the Seine and went all the way up to the Gare St Lazare. No wonder people freaked out!Leggi altro

Musee d’Orsay - Thurday night
15 settembre 2022, Francia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
After wandering around Tuileries Garden we headed over to Musee d’Orsay - Bronwyn had noticed that they had a special reduced entry for Thursday evening so we decided to take advantage along with hundreds of other tourists and locals. Musee d’Orsay used to be a train station which has been transformed into a wonderful museum - one of my favourites. There have been extensive renovations since we last visited in 2009, including a greatly expanded Impressionist and Post-Impressionist exhibition on the 5th floor, and a wonderful and very funky restaurant. Many paintings we had not seen before.

There were a couple of pieces, which are a temporary exhibition - a painting and brass statues by the African American artist, Kehinde Wiley from LA. These pieces were so powerful and evoked strong emotions as they had a theme of the oppression of African Americans. As a side note, Kehinde was the first African American Artist to be commissioned to paint a portrait of an American president. He painted a portrait of Barack Obama for the Smithsonian in 2018.Leggi altro

Final Thoughts
11 luglio 2023, Francia ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F
Our “formal” Camino is done. Sean and I received our compostelas (diplomas) both for the halfway and full journey and we have returned home safely where we are catching up on our sleep.

So, what did we take away from our Camino?

My goals were to draw closer to God, draw closer to Sean, and to have a grand adventure. And all of those goals were met and exceeded long before we ended our trek. What I did not expect was the friendships that we made along the way; especially Brian and Michelle Coleman, Brandon from Houston, Lucas and Maria from Brazil, Richard “the Gentle Giant” from Los Angeles, and many others whose names I have either forgotten or never knew.

Sean’s goal was to be there for me and boy did he meet and exceed that goal! He was as patient and faithful a companion as I could have asked for and I would never have gotten as far as I did or enjoyed the journey as much as I did without his presence.

Most pilgrims will tell you that the Camino is a reflection of life. It has many of the same qualities: ups and downs (quite literally!), joys and sorrows, successes and failures, surprises and disappointments. But it is also much quieter than life. No trash to take out, no work to go to or deadlines to meet. Mostly void of the rush of traffic and the noise of cities. It is a time to slow down and reflect.

Sean and I were blessed to have this time together and I suspect that as we gain distance from our journey we will find that we have gained knowledge and insights that we don’t yet recognize. I pray that’s true.

We have many people to thank. Nancy for supporting our going and for handling many logistical details for my dialysis. Harrison for handling some travel details when we found ourselves without a way home when we ended earlier than expected. My nephrologist for supporting this effort. The people who followed this blog and offered encouragement along the way—it was greatly appreciated! And most especially, God, for answering many, many prayers and for giving us the strength, endurance, and wisdom that we asked and prayed for.

We all walk the Camino. Every day. It may not be as quiet as the one we experienced but we still have the opportunity to draw closer to God, draw closer to the ones we love and to support them, to have a grand adventure, and to be blessed with friends and as friends.

I wish each of you Buen Camino and pray that God blesses your journey and your pilgrimage in life!Leggi altro

Musee d'Orsay, Paris
26 aprile 2023, Francia ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
We arrived back in Paris around 1:30 pm and found that our hotel room was not ready. We were able to store our bags in our friends' room and then we caught the RER train to the Musee d'Orsay. This museum used to be the main railway station of Paris, but when the city outgrew the size of this building, it experienced several reincarnations such as being used in the war, and later to help homeless people. Finally it found its niche as a museum for impressionist art.
The building still has its curved, glass roof and it sports two huge glass clocks on its facade that looks out onto the Seine.
I took Doug to see the clocks first because they're a photographer's dream. Taking pictures of the clocks with the light and the cityscapes peaking through was so much fun!
Then we wandered through galleries of paintings and sculptures, pausing to look at ones that evoked emotion or caught our eye. I enjoyed seeing paintings that I had learned about in Mrs. Little's French class in the Hartney Collegiate Institute I attended as a teenager. Then, I clipped stories of the French artists and their paintings out of the Reader's Digest for assignments from French class. Now I stood mere inches away from them! I wonder if Mrs. Little knew the impact she made on my life?
Almost two hours later, we agreed that our "art compartments" were full and we headed out to get some fresh air while we processed the stories that these artists, including Degas, Money, Manet, Van Gogh and Renoir recorded so long ago.Leggi altro

Musee d'Orsay
17 maggio 2023, Francia ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
First museum visit for the day. Musée d'Orsay. There is a Degas and Manet exhibition so I booked to see that. Not many people know I did at in high school, and my favourite style is the Impressionists. Technically these two are not Impressionists but they dabbled a little in the form.

The museum used to be a train station, evident by the large clocks. There are a number of more modern artworks. More modern in that they are 19th and 20th century. Unlike the Louvre Which had puces dating from 18th back to 200,000BC(?). I'm not sure that last date, but that's what the sign said.

There are also many artworks that are NFFF. Not Fit For Florida. Too many names bodies.Leggi altro

Un tuffo nell'impressionismo

Ho studiato arte al liceo, la odiavo, non ne capivo il senso e mi annoiava. Poi ho iniziato a studiare la corrente artistica dell'impressionismo e mi sono innamorata. Vederla ora dal vivo nel museo mi scalda il cuore ❤️Leggi altro

Dramatic day at D’Orsay
8 giugno 2023, Francia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Bonjour!

Today was yet another long one (and hasn’t even ended).

First, I woke up. Second, I went to class. Third, I grabbed a baguette with ham and cheese. And fourth, I went back to the hotel.
Now here is where it gets interesting.

Our pysch class planned to go to D’Orsay, but that was a little more difficult than expected. The metro we were on seemingly shut down. We sat there for a while and contemplated our options. Eventually, we decided to take a different metro to a different stop and catch a different train on the same line we were trying to ride. We arrived, the metro arrived, we boarded, and then the metro stopped. After some French announcements over the loudspeakers, no one moved so neither did we. Eventually, the metro started moving. Thank the lord.

The rest of the day was much smoother. I really enjoined the museum and had a lot of fun looking at all the different art. My favorite art was probably Monet’s. I love his use of color and texture to create images; it’s different than other art I’ve seen. A lot of his art used Ariel perspective to create depth. Instead of using haze or shadows to add contrast, he simply changes the colors that he uses. This can be seen in the bridge painting where the space behind the bridge is much darker. The tour was ended with some gelato (and wine), shopping, and a much more successful metro home.

Now, I am tired. Super tired. Not sure what my dinner plans so I shall see where the night takes me.

Au revoir!Leggi altro
