I'm looking at the sketcher, looking at the guards, looking at the people, looking at the painting, by a painter looking at nature. Wow that sounds way more convoluted when you write it out.... ;)
This is a great idea. There's a museum near me, Currier Gallery in Manchester, NH. They recently built a new wing that I explored -- after I walked ineventually I was followed by a young man who stood, leering at me from the corner. Though I fully realized his role, it made me feel uncomfortable. Maybe I should take pics and draw them? LOL

That escalated really quickly! :) Cheers, everyone.
James, I see that you have a water brush in your shirt pocket. Do you get an artist's pass to use wet media in the museum? Are there typically any guidelines that you need to follow? Do museum guards question you about using wet media?
8. Some of those Gurney followers* are observable too. I'm looking at you, Jim Douglas! See what I did there? :P

And then of course we, the viewers, look at sketchers who look at guards who look at people who look at painters who look at nature...
Loved this one!
