Yesterday, I went to Kyoto City museum to see paintings drawn by Johannes Vermeer. The art gallery is called "Love Letters from Johannes Vermeer".
I had hardly visited such a gallery before but I found it very interesting. When watching each drawing, I tried to see the internal meanings of it. For example, if there is a cage with a bird in the drawing, it means an inconvenient but a stable life.
On the contrary, if there is a cage with no bird, it means a free but an unstable life. In addition, there are something whose meanings differ in each pictures. The dog is a good example. It means honesty, devotion, unintelligence and hunting.
Thus the items in the pictures contain the drawers' intensions. Such way of watching pictures changed the impression toward the art gallery, which had been boring to me. It was a good experience and I came to think that I would like to go to the museum overseas.
Then the Next is today's practice!

I don't want to go out tonight because I've painted the house all day long.

Wow! Taro is an art enthusiast.That is really cool. Art note: If you ever read Maya Angelou "I know Why The Caged Bird Sings" she writes a beautiful poem on the whole topic. Grammar note: In your practice did you mean you were painting a picture in your house or you were painting your house. If it is the first then just insert "in" in between "painted" and "the".
Sorry I was gone for long. Why does school have to be difficult, especially math. :P
I meant painting outside of the house.
Oh, you were so busy, but it's the beginning of your happy days! Good luck!!

It's been a long time since I've been to a museum. Usually I prefer science centers, or history museums, but occasionally I do enjoy art as well.
Everything would be OK if you like it! Let's enjoy our lives!!
