Goodbye National Gallery

The only bit of nostalgia I have had about leaving DC was today at the National Gallery. In between errands I stopped in to say goodbye to the columns, paintings, and statues that have been my refuge during this past year and a half. Because it is free I would often go whenever I could and explore new exhibits or just sit for long periods under favorites and write.

Here are a few of my dearest friends:


Saint Sebastian - Tanzio da Varallo


Repentent Magdelene - Georges de la Tour


Matteo Olivieri - Anonymous, Florentine 15th century


Nonchaloir - John Singer Sargent
