Albert Bartholomé | Dans la serre (In the Greenhouse) 1876

Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France

You will never know what the feelings of this painting really is unless you are not in front of it. That's the difference between looking at paintings on the webs or books and in real. Yet great-great works are still great in actual, like van Gogh's Room at Arles or my secret-loving Monet's The Port at Argenteuil. I've been cheered up and cured up in some ways. But what the ridiculous thing was there were paintings only about 50 or so outside those small pictures hanging on one side of the walls in a not very discreet way.

By the way, I saw a guy who looks like British there. I think this was my first time to listen to actual British accent and it was really way too much sexier than I thought. O My Lord, I almost had a crush on him just by hearing his voice. But he did seem to know paintings a lot and I just tracked his path down so I didn't need an audio guide unlike anybody else. Well, he might have noticed me or not. It's funny. Ah, he also commented about the scale of the exhibition. "It's miserable." Yes, you can say that again.
