Sketching at the Goya Exhibit in Boston

This past weekend I went to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston to see the Goya exhibit before it closes. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to see all these works together in one place.  On the way up there was a snowstorm and the train stopped somewhere in Connecticut so I did a sketch from the window.

I stayed in a hotel and got to the museum Sunday before it opened and there was already a line.

Here are some sketches from the show:

For the sketch above I used Pitt Pens that I learned about in the Don Colley day with NY Sketchers back in October.  The sketch features one of my favorite paintings of all time - Goya's self portrait with Dr. Arrias, and shows a deep sense of compassion and caring on the part of his physician.  

Here are some sketches from other galleries in MFA:

The Goya exhibit was absolutely fantastic and well worth the trip.  Try to make it before January 19th!
