i don't know if it's my own special kind of insomnia but lately i find myself unable to sleep; and not purposefully but always managing to spend hours researching endless paintings and their painters. i've become so engrossed i've started taking notes and am thinking of taking up an art history class. here are some of my favourites. two of which i've been lucky enough to stand in awe of.

I love Vermeer, I've seen a movie about him recently and it was pretty good.
You totally should take those art history classes, it must be interesting.
