Seurat's Masterpiece

[1] How can I describe the wonder I felt the first time I saw my favorite painting, Georges Seurat's A Sunday on La Grande Jatte? [2] I had admired the work for years in art books, but I never thought I _saw _Q16 the actual painting, which was housed in Chicago, many miles from where I lived. [3] I finally got my chance _to _Q17 when I met someone else who loved the painting as much as I did. [4] We both had three days off at the same time, so we decided to make a road trip to Chicago so we could see the painting in all _it's _Q18 grandeur. [5] We packed our bags, _jumped in the car, and headed _Q19 on our way toward Chicago. Q20

[1] The first thing that struck me as we entered the room where the painting was _displayed_; Q21 was the size of the painting. [2] A common size for canvases is 24 by 36 inches. [3] It was enormous! [4] It covered a large part of an even larger wall. [5] The painting's size amazed me since it was painted with dots, a technique called pointillism. [6] To create a painting of such magnitude using this technique seemed an almost impossible _task_. Q22 [7] Seurat had done it, though, and had made it look easy! Q23

_Even more impressive, however, was_ Q24 the beauty of the painting. Viewed from a distance, the colors looked muted, capturing the idyllic mood of a summer day in the park.

_When I approached the painting, though_, Q25 its colors exploded into myriad hues, illustrating the artist's skill in combining colors to create a mood. Even the parts of the painting that appeared white from a distance were vibrantly multicolored when viewed up close. Q26 The effect was incredible;

_he _Q27 sat and stared at the painting in wonder for a good portion of the afternoon. Q28

My friend and I saw many other _sights, _Q29 on our trip to Chicago, but the best part by far was being able to see our favorite work of art. The image is forever imprinted in my mind _at the museum gift shop_, Q30 even when I'm not looking at the souvenir print I bought.
