Museums

While visiting museums I enjoy watching the people looking at the art. These paintings give me an opportunity to pair the viewers with artist and works that speak to me. I observe the interaction of the viewer with the images in the paintings or sculpture, often bridging the time of the past with the present. Museums offer a place for repose and contemplation as well.
