Dance
Monday, February 18, 2013, 06:00 PM
It was a chilly morning so we stayed indoors. After our normal turkey sandwich lunch we went out to Ringling and did the galleries on the left side of the museum that we didn't do last week. Notables were a wall of Harlequin paintings featured because they purchased the 15th painting to complete the set. I noticed a room full of Rubens paintings, something I was not previously aware of. I knew the front room with the 4 huge paintings existed but not the room with smaller works. I also found a Greco of the crucifixion which reminded me of a blackboard painting I did and photographed in 7th grade. The other work of note was the lady strapped to a bull on the front lawn that I never noticed before. She is a Christian being punished for her faith. The story says her assistant saved her by killing the bull. The Romans let her go after this. I photographed the statue in multiple views. After the museum we walked Selby and made note of some Staghorn ferns we had noticed before. We went to the free dance lesson at 7 then paid $20 for the one hour class following. The free class was a circle of us doing various steps. The paid group class was great, we practiced the foxtrot for the entire hour including doing a turn as part of the second step of foxtrot.
