Today, joy of joys, I am teaching my students about Roman wall paintings, particularly those discovered at Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Boscoreale. I am obsessed with this one:
I love love love the color palette, the trompe l'oeil architectural details, and the illusionism of the outdoor world. Someday, when I have my villa (a girl can dream), it will surely have walls that look oh so close to this.
Well, it's another gloriously-sunny day here in So-Cal. While I always thought of myself as more of a blistery-weather-loving Midwesterner, I am getting used to unending expanses of blue sky and bright sunshine. This weekend will surely include a beach picnic!
