| We went to this art store to grab some supplies for an open drawing session. As I was standing in line to purchase some paper and pencils I was still debating whether I wanted to buy the supplies and go to the drawing session that night...a man in line behind me (Edward) started chatting and I briefly told him my dilemma. He encouraged me to take advantage of every opportunity to go places, meet people, and experience life. He said, "You're always one interaction away from getting everything you've always wanted." I felt inspired and ready to get out there and make my dreams come true! Unfortunately, when we arrived at the drawing session we discovered it had been cancelled. So anticlimactic. |

| Emily and I on our way back to the hotel. I was a little worried the man taking this photo was going to run off with my fancy camera so I didn't want to step back too far...fortunately, he was trustworthy. |

| This was one of my favorite paintings at The Met. While it is beautifully painted, I think the subject matter is what appeals to me the most about it. Joan of Arc, 1879 by Jules Bastien-Lepage The Met |

| A whole room of paintings by John Singer Sargeant. He's great! |

| I like how loosely Sorolla painted this figure, but it reads so well. See detailed photo below. Porfiro Diaz, Former President of Mexico, 1911 by Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida Hispanic Society of America |
