Just Right – Oct. 20, 2022

Museo Sorolla was just right. After his death, his private home became a museum. The museum’s architecture and balance of elegance with comfort were much to my liking. Oh, to have lived in such a house with such an artist.

Sorolla’s paint brushes as he would have kept them.
The Horse’s Bath, a favor.
Sorolla’s garden. Like me he much preferred working outside.
