Today's image started as a picture in the gallery that houses the Temple of Dendur. This gallery is located in the Sackler Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is a vast room with a large pool. The roof and the outside wall are all glass.
Tony took what he saw before him and turned it into this very interesting image. If you have been to that section of the museum you probably never saw it like this.
Part of Tony's magic as an artist is to take what he sees before him and present the viewer with an entirely different perspective. He has emphasized the refection in the pool and made the view of Central Park as seen through the glass wall very surreal.
It is going to be warm today and so we are off to DC to visit the museums. When we lived in New York we haunted the museums every week. You never get tired of the Met. It is so huge and it always has interesting, beautifully mounted exhibits. I cried when I walked through the
Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years — Selections from the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum exhibit. It brought back such incredible memories of such a wonderful time in America. Whenever we can we use ideas that we have seen at the museums to present
Techno-Impressionism. We have turned our home into a gallery and we have descriptions posted next to images just like they do in the museums. Maybe one day our house will become the brick and mortar version of the
Techno-impressionist Museum. We view it all as "nothing ventured, nothing gained".
