@ZIM So I just got back from the Met and it was a terrific show. I will go back again before it closes, I think it's up till October.

Michael Shane Neal was there speaking about portrait painting and Sergeant in particular. Here's a link to his site if you want it.

I'm planning on going with my daughter this week, maybe Thursday. I almost went today, but my daughter had plans. I think the lecture was at 3PM, right in the middle of her cello lesson.

I sometimes work at the Pierrepont-Morgan Library, they have a couple of Sargent works, I've gone and taken super close up photos to look at the brush strokes.

I finally made it over to this exhibition. Wow. So many great paintings. There were many oil paintings, very impressive, and the watercolors were amazing.
