Have you guys ever seen that movie "Charlie St. Cloud"? It's really creepy and involves the one and only Zefron falling in love with this girl's half dead ghost? My personal favorite scene is when ghost girl leaves Zefron a note that says "Come find me" and then they rendezvous in a cemetery?
My day today was nothing like C St. C.
INSTEAD, it involved going to my second art museum of the weekend: El Museo de las Bellas Artes. However, like Zefron, I had someone I needed to hunt down--Francisco de Goya. For my art history class, I need to find and write about a painting of my own choosing by Goya. Conveniently, like creepy ghost girl, the museum provided a large sign for me that pointed me in the right direction, and read "Búscame"--almost literally, "Come find me."
I picked a painting of this sassy looking actress, posing with one hand on her hip. (Do you think my professor will give me extra credit for taking a picture of myself doing the same pose?)
Anyways, what I want to talk about more is the museum I went to yesterday--El Museo Sorolla. The museum is actually Sorolla's house, which is beautiful and charming and has delightful gardens. Also, it is full of gorgeous paintings of the beach, with women dressed in flowing white gowns. And paintings of La Alhambra, which as I've already stated, is a marvel. In short, the museum was a huge win--probably my favorite so far.
Question of the day: Am I turning into an art snob?
