caillebotte exhibit

libby had gone to italy for her junior year in college. she was a “classics” major. after graduating, she worked for a couple of years as a buyer for macy’s. she then decided she wanted to live in italy so picked herself up and just went. people all wonder why she wanted to do that. i wondered why, even though i did the same thing. i could see how people would have wondered at my similar choices. she got an apartment and a job teaching english. she has made friends there. i’m proud of her for doing it. i hadn’t known libby very well before. her mom, my cousin, is exactly my age. i already was living far away when libby was growing up. i would see her from time to time. i only knew her as a little kid. but now she’s 25, an adult. she’s a great person. i really enjoy her company. jj and libby went shopping together. jj wanted to bring libby up and down our shopping street. it was cute. in the afternoon, we went to see the “caillebotte” exhibit. he is a lesser known impressionist painter. i have always loved his painting of the floor scrapers. the painting has good movement, good technique and an interestingly weird subject. the light reflecting on the floor and the little wood shavings got me...
