Sorolla!

Gosh Tim,

Thanks so much for your kind remarks! I would love to some day paint like Sorolla did. He is one of the virtuosos in painted sunlight I most admire. I wish he were around to give demonstations, workshops, and mentor as you do. Where's the key to that time travel machine anyway?

There is a wonderful Sorolla beach scene buried in permanent storage at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I came upon it quite by accident while working behind the scenes in the deep sub-levels of the museum last June. I was shocked that such a wonderful painting was presently viewable only in dim fluorescent utility lighting, while hung from a metal screen. I believe one can make an appointment and arrange to study it. It may be presently in the new storage/study facility that PMA has just built within the former Philadelphia Naval Yard. I would post a picture of this except it contains some some innocent nudity. I wish the PMA would display it in their galleries.

Garth

PS: I've added image details from that PMA Sorolla (edited for nudity). Sorry about the terrible quality if the scans, they do the painting no justice. Hopefully you will get the idea though that it is a shame it is not on display.
