Ron, of all the museums I have been to for this class, the Yale British Art Museum has been my favorite. Seeing your selections just brought it all back to me. I never really gave much thought to different styles or texture or lighting when I looked at a painting but I am learning to slow down and really take the time to enjoy what I am looking at.
Okay, good Ron... I appreciate you observant eye as you photograph the interior space and light of each museum you visit.
The British is such a gem of a museum freely available to all who want to look...
