Margaret and I went to a lecture at the San Diego Museum of Art, and the first painting shown on the screen was One of my favorites.  It is the still life by Juan Sanchez Cotan painted in 1602.  You may know the one: Quince, Cabbage, Melon, and Cucumber.  It’s definitely Cotan’s masterpiece… long before the time of photography, this painting looks like a photograph… a good photograph… a very good photograph… We are fortunate to have the San Diego Museum of Art… Every visit to the museum is a gift.
