New York and Costa Rica (in drawings and paintings)

The day before I flew to Costa Rica I visited one of my favorite places, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Met was hosted several great shows including George Bellows, Matisse and Bernini. I also spent time with this Roman copy of a Greek Muse, a sculpture I have probably drawn half a dozen times. She is beautiful.

I also visited Leda and the Swan by Jacque Sarrazin.
