In the summer of 2010 my mother and I traveled to Paris with the goal of immersing ourselves in as many galleries as we could manage during our brief time there. 
Needless to say this was a daunting task and we soon learned that you could spend months wandering places like the Louvre and  the Centre Georges Pompidou and still only barely scratch the surface of all there is to see and experience. I would have to say  one gallery that really stopped me in my tracks was the Musee d'Orsay. I had seen the waterlily paintings of Claude Monet's many times, in books and on posters, but to see the grand scale of them, the amazing colours and the sheer beauty of each painting was truly breathtaking. 

The time I spent there, quietly wandering through those huge galleries, was something I will never forget. I don't think I can ever look at a real water lily again and not see Monet's lilies shadowed in my mind. Amazing and worth seeing if you ever get the chance. Clicking on the painting will take you to a youtube video viewing of the Musee d"Orsay.

    Hello Everyone, I am back from my first year teaching overseas in China. Despite working harder than I ever have in my life I was able to get four good sized paintings done while I was there and also take in some of the amazing art and culture that makes up this remarkable country. Check out the video of the 798 District which is a major draw for people who love the arts. My first visit there was cut short due to being pick-pocketed on the metro but I plan to return again and see it in its entirety.
