So Friday, May 28, Daniel and I went to Vienna (a 1 hour train ride from Bratislava) and after more than 6 years, this is what it looks like. This is called "The Allegory of Painting" or "The Artist in His Studio" and it was great to finally see it. To prove my point about the light, turn out the lights in your room and the light will still pour through the window and out of your computer screen ; )This is number 36 of 37... and on Monday we will be in Prague, only 2 hours by train from Dresden, home of that last one. I could make a quick dash there on Tuesday morning before heading back to Budapest and my flight home on Wednesday. I will run into the museum, dash up the stairs, and...
oops. They did it again. That was in fact my tentative plan, but Daniel saved me great anguish and frustration, not to mention deja vu, when he discovered a web site which tracks Vermeer paintings.
The last one is on the move again. Right now it is in The Hague for the summer, and then heads to Scotland for the fall.
So maybe God wants to keep me on this chase for a while longer. Am I ready for the possible letdown and sense of anticlimax in finishing this life goal? Maybe there is something I need to do first, like in most great quests... anyone seen a Holy Grail laying around?
