I see I missed blogging yesterday. I shall tell you why: my brother was here visiting for the day.
We went to the Art Gallery and saw the Colville exhibit, along with some drawings of Michelangelo. And had some gelato.
The Colville show was quite marvellous: lots of info about his life, lots of sketches and studies alongside the finished works.
And Michelangelo, what can one say? Obviously they can't just ship David over here to show us, or the Sistine Chapel, but there were drawings of things familiar and not; plans of buildings that never got built; sketches that had been somewhat polished up and completely rough lines. The notes sometimes mentioned that this pope or that had likely held this piece of paper in his hands.
After the art, we had food. Some other friends came over for dinner and we had a grand old time together, before sending John back out into the cold to catch an airplane.
So that is my excuse. I do have a special treat for you tomorrow, though, I prrrrommmisse.
