I just returned from seeing two lovely art shows: a Dutch etching show with tons of Rembrants, and a Dutch painter show from the 1600s as well, with Vermeer's Girl With the Pearl Earring as the star. Both are rich and beautiful. My husband said he felt pulled into that world and time and I did as well. There are many exquisite works. I ended up getting a print Fabritius' The Goldfinch. But I loved so many more. The Dutch world of that era seems to have been complex, engaging and rich. And what a golden age for artists! I doubt I'll ever get to the Hague, and the Mauritius Museum, so it's such a treat to see these works.
Yesterday my foster granddaughter's mom told me as we were sewing at her house that she and her partner had gotten married while in Costa Rica. I was thrilled. Today she emailed pictures, and they all look so happy and so knit together as a family. The images are gorgeous, with the sunset on the beach and the three red haired females rivaling the sunset, and the husband looking like he was the luckiest man alive. He is. And my granddaughter's dead father must be smiling from above, to see his girls so happy again. Life is a wonder, a joyous circle of life.
