Surprised by Joy

Love this picture. As good as any done in Tahiti or anywhere.

I have avoided this exhibit, the "Impressionist Gaugin" at the Kimbell. Like what I had seen of these works, practically none, I found out, had left me cold. But as so often, I am wrong in these superficial estimates. I am going to try to compose an essay of my impressions of the impressionist works of the impressionist. Next post. Now must run to get ready to go hear La Boheme. Ah. Culture overloads.... favorite opera, if I have to choose one... so later later later
