I was in London this week for a portrait commission. There and back in two days. I hope to show you later some of this very interesting assignment. I visited the client in his office in the Millbank Tower.
Of course I did not miss the opportunity to enter the Tate, as it is next door after all. I went directly to the Singer Sargents. I admit it: I’m quite the monomaniac sometimes. I took some pictures and I include them here with some comments. I am safely back home now and return to work with new enthusiasm, kindled by our eternal hero John Singer Sargent.
Thank you Ben for posting these photos. I have to visit London again. Last time I was there was 2001. A lot has changed for me and how I view the old master’s paintings.
Last year I was at the http://www.barnesfoundation.org in Philadelphia and experienced the same frustration that the paintings were hung too high to see them up close. Still study every brush stroke and color relationship. I still have a lot to learn.
Coming to Spain is on my list…..smile.
