I just wanted to let you all know that I probably won't be putting up very many pictures. It's really annoying and it takes FOREVER! I will post a few of my favorites when I can post pics, but I will be putting the rest on facebook, or myspace, or anywhere that's easier. 😊 Sorry. I will post the best pics, though, so there is some good news, lol.

This one is really interesting. He was pretty famous in his lifetime, and was known for caring more about dipicting life and it's memories rather than the light's impression. When his wife died the painter couldn't paint again for almost a year, and this was his first painting after her death. It's about their wedding and life.

I forgot this guys name, but he is super famous. I think its Henry R. The audio guide said that he never went to the kinds of places he painted about. He just dreamed about them. There is something sad, but romantic about that.

I can't help but wonder what the poor excluded boy with the red umbrella thought about.
