Joachin Sorolla rocks!

 We're in New York this week visiting family and I had the chance to get up to Spanish Harlem to the Hispanic SOciety of America Museum, on a recommendation from Liz Wiltzen. It was such a great find and easy to subway to.

Sorolla was a Spanish artist from about 1985-1920
and he excelled at showing the light in his work. His colours are luscious, and no two brush strokes are quite the same colour or shape. He is tremendously inspiring to me. These are just photos I took in the museum so not great, but they give an idea of his talent. There are tons of colours in the tuna. Te compositions are compelling. And look at the light and pink skin showing through the girl's bathing costume below.. And on a close look she has blue and green on her feet.  This is a messy post, I'll try to straighten it out tomorrow!
