Friends I was in the city this past Saturday with my sister and my besties with the purpose of visiting the Met to view the John Singer Sargent exhibition Sargent & Paris again before it closes August 3rd.

Madame X is featured in an entire gallery.

Discussing the work Dr. Pozzi at Home

This installation offers the viewer a look at how the Salon of Paris exhibited works. The video populates works by subject in black and white and then you finally see the full wall in color.

After Sargent we toured the Impressionist. Here is Garden at Sainte-Adresse by Monet a piece I must view during every visit to the Met.

The Met will be undertaking a multi-year renovation and the roof will be closed for the next 4 years! We will miss the views and the libation.

I love visiting The Robert Lehman Collection.

We sat in the American Wing admiring the Tiffany studio 3-part Garden landscape window for Linden Hall

We walked to Bemelmans Bar for a bit. Always a great idea!

Sargent: The Masterworks is a book I think every Sargent fan should own.

I’ve listed past Met articles below. Til next time friends be well and I’ll see you on Instagram!

Yes, jewels of the sea is how I think of seashells.

I’ve finally gotten a moment to breathe after the craziness of the last month. It finally feels like summer with nicer weather and time relaxing at the swim club. Of course this has me looking around at my many seashells collections and dreaming of the beach. I just said to family - When can we pop down to the beach for a day? We’ve enjoyed beach weeks 12 times over the last 15 years but unfortunately schedules this summer just wouldn’t allow it - a bummer. So, I’ve gathered images to satiate my thirst for more shells! And I need to get the family on-board with a day trip - ASAP! ha!
