P.S. Do you know which Harry Potter character said the quote at the top?
Was it Dumbledore who was quoted at the top? It's been a while--I think I need to go back and read through the canon before the last movie comes out. : )
ReplyDeleteYour post was very timely for me--my eldest and I are headed into the MFA today a) to hear a friend perform in the new auditorium, b) to do a bit of a whirlwind tour to see what we might want to come back and visit when it's NOT school vacation week, and c) to hunt down any of Van Gogh's paintings that might be there (DS's favorite artist).
Thanks very much for sharing these. I especially love the Dewing and Gerard, and of course Borden's fiddle there at the top!
Sounds like a fun excursion, Christina! Great for a vacation week.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about it being a quote from Dumbledore!
Loved your "Strings Section" this week.
ReplyDeleteAnd was very surprised to see one particular piece.
Those are wonderful painted violins. Art creating art. :)
