Hello my lovelies.

How are you today? How was your weekend? Did you participate in any holiday shopping? I hope that your week goes exactly as you need it to.

My weekend was pretty good. I went out on an adventure with my partner, then I enjoyed a nice, chill Sunday at home.

Today’s post is a Snapshots post featuring photos I took during my recent visit to the Carnegie Museum of Art. I chose my 10 favourite photos to share with you today.

All of the photos in this post were taken using my FujiFilm X-T30ii camera and have not been edited.

I will do my best to show the photos in the order they were taken.

Let’s get right into it, shall we?

W. Elorda’s Snapshots: Carnegie Museum of Art

Wheat Fields after the Rain (The Plain of Auvers) by Vincent Van Gogh

I adore this piece by Van Gogh. It is one of his later works, and it feels so peaceful, and hopeful.

Hyperion by Thomas Crawford

This marble bust of the god Hyperion is one of my favourite statue pieces in the museum. I love the details in the hair, and the softness of the facial features.

Innocence Tormented by Love by Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse

I think it’s the chubbiness of the cherubs that makes me like this sculpture. I also like the detail in the young woman’s expression.

Hammerer by Constantin Meunier

I love this sculpture because it just feels so different from the others that are on display. I like the relaxed pose of the model as well as the stern, angular features of the face.

Mrs. Trevor by George Romney

This painting is so stunning in person. I enjoy the classical vibes and I have to wonder how long the model had to hold this pose.

Water Lillies (Nympheas) by Claude Monet.

I love this piece, mostly because it was one of Monet’s final pieces. This painting is actually unfinished, and does not have the artist’s signature on it.

There is a bench in front of this piece, and I swear I could sit and stare at it for hours.

Trees by Piet Mondrian

This is probably not the piece that comes to mind when you hear this artist’s name, but I think I like this one better. This piece was painted about 18 years before the famous “Composition with Red, Blue, and Yellow.”

This is one of those paintings where I wonder if you see the subject because of the title. Do you see trees here?

Among Those Left by Ivan le Lorraine Albright

This is my favourite painting on display at Carnegie Museum of Art.. From the title, to the haunting image itself, this piece always has an effect on me, no matter how many times I see it.

The subject’s forlorn expression, and his rough hands pull me in each time.

Black Crowd by Zao Wou-Ki

This painting makes me think of Silent Hill, I won’t lie.

Untitled by Keith Haring and Heart Pavilion by Dan Graham

The last photo in this post features two exhibits in one. Untitled by Keith Haring is reflected in one of the sides of Heart Pavilion, and the effect is so cool.

I think this is my favourite photo that I took at the museum.

And that is all for this Snapshot post! I really hope that you enjoyed it! Which photo is your favourite? Mine is definitely the Keith Haring reflected in the Heart Pavilion.

I have some fun new posts in the works that I am excited to share with you!
