Even when he painted in outdoor setting, with ordinary people as his sitters, Sargent still painted the clothes exquisitely. I didn’t realize before how much he liked fashion and how much attention he paid to the clothes’ details.

A giant Lego wave sits at the center of the MFA’s new Hokusai exhibition. Hokusai: Inspiration and Influence opens March 26 and runs through July 16. . This center room juxtaposes the master’s “Great Wave” print with a myriad of works inspired by it. You’ll notice an iconic Lichtenstein just opposite the case. #igersboston #mfaboston #hokusai #ukiyo #lego (at MFA Boston) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQmXTSOaR5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

11.06.2022 Promised to share this at the panel yesterday. Really good conversations on Craft Schools and Place, organized by @michellemillarfisher at the @mfaboston. Got to talk with Michelle, @alisoncroney and @aaron.beale.1 and to see so many people I miss seeing. Michelle has a gift for asking thoughtful and exciting questions. She always makes me my brain feel nourished and brings beautiful care for being in space, too. MFA Boston staff - while program was so smoooooooth! Thanks for the invitation and dialogue, Michelle and everyone! Cannot wait to see the exhibition …. Best surprise for me — @cal_der, @sluglexa and Allison (who asked a great question) hanging out afterwards with @ms_theotyson #craft #craftscape #criticalcraftforum #thisiscraft #mfaboston https://www.instagram.com/p/CkoN5k0rbbn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Two quick postcard sketches I did at the MFA courtyard yesterday where we ate our lunch and at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum courtyard. Swipe to see the ink sketches done in about 10 minutes each on location. Color was added later at home. Nice way to capture and collect memories. #boston #mfaboston #isabellastewartgardnermuseum #gardnermuseum #courtyard #garden #sculpture #sketch #ink #watercolor #postcard https://www.instagram.com/p/CdEAtN2rKnz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#canitellyou every child is an artist. This wall of children’s artwork at the @mfaboston really caught my attention. It reminded me of my own childhood when I would draw all day and fill our hallway with my doodles and drawings. / 🎨✍🏼👨🏽‍🎨 . . . #everychildisanartist🎨 #mfaboston🎨 #childrensartwork #childrensartstudio #artinspiresme #childrenneedart #rafetotengco #rafetravelstoboston #artisanexpression #cherishyourchildren🌈 #letyourchildpaint www.rafe.com (at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgRnz_uOr8P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
