Musée d’Orsay Day

One of my favourite days in Paris. I love the paintings here…and the space, which has been strangely modified and chopped up with flats. It feels temporary, and interesting. But the paintings! I really enjoy looking at Impressionists! They make magic with their obscure marks and I love the energy of their work. Of course, some feel worn out by relentless reproduction, but I still like to see them. This one of the dental procedure was my favourite! Strange subject matter for a 6 foot canvas, but beautiful technique!

This one with the giant is just weird, especially sitting next to the peaceful nymphs!

There was a special exhibition of work related to nature which included about 20 Emily Carr and Group of Seven paintings. It’s funny to see those in Paris!
