It had been a while since I'd been to NYC and I've started taking day jaunts over on the train from beautiful downtown Hamilton, NJ.
The last was to see Vermeer's Girl With a Pearl Earring at the Frick Museum.
Charlotte loved that painting ...and the movie.
TGWTPE is one of a nice group of paintings from that period in Veldt and Amsterdam that has been loaned to the Frick.
The Goldfinch, one of my favorites, is in the show.
The star for me, though, was a STUNNING portrait by Rembrandt.
The Frick is much smaller than the Met, which is right up the street, and I enjoyed it more. I always feet that I'm missing something at the Met, because we could never see everything there.
One of the nicest sights in NYC, though, is the young ladies who live and work there.
They seem to GET the latest fashions all at once and they wear them with an elan that makes the observer's heart beat faster.
And the SHOES!
What's up with the SHOES?
I saw an ad in the NY Times for some shoes and it inspired me to sketch it.
I loved the lines and negative spaces.
How do they walk in them?
I'll probably do a painting of this soon.
