while these still life paintings are filled with a variety of details, there are some still life's in the exhibition which are much more spare. such as adrian, from 1704. although much of this artist details are shrouded in history. notice how the branch and the beautifully rendered leaves catch the light on the right hand corner. it gives this piece a magical feeling as if these apricots are beyond just mere fruit. there are 67 paintings recognized by court's hand. an exhibition entirely devoted to the artist. there are about half of the known works in this exhibition and the director of the morris house remarked that she thought for herself that maybe this exhibition won't be popular because all of his tend to be the same, you have a stone slab and fruit and it was definitely popular and shows the demand of this artist skill and his paintings or so beautiful even though they are spare and he's so mysterious. an artist does not need to be -- a highlight of an exhibition. a competition, my favorite painting in the exhibition. this is particularly exciting since it is considered an ico

"today in the bay's" terry mcsweeney joins us live. what have you seen? >> reporter: good morning to you. 9:00 here in boston. what i've seen is a mile-long crime scene right here on wellston street where the bombs went off yesterday. this is probably one of the safest streets in the united states, heavily armed police, s.w.a.t. members and national guard members are also out here protecting this area and the citizens of boston, because no one exactly knows who did that yesterday. they don't know what could happen today. this is boyleston street. as you can see, it was sealed off short

injured.there's still no no arrests have been made. and no one has claimedand police and federal agents are again asking the public to give them any photos or video taken at the scene. whether it was before - during - or after the attack.we know a lot more about the two bombs. they were made from kitchen pressure cookers - and police say a timer was likely used. it is 'not' believed that they were detonated let's give you a closer look at the kind of bomb used. this is a similar device. police say the 2 bombs were fashioned from 6-liter kitchen pressure cookers. and had been left in black nylon back-packs or duffel bags on the ground. they were packed with shards of metal, ball- bearings and nails. the crudely designed bombs are often used by terrorists in afghanistan. a 2010 homeland security pamphlet included a specific warning about their use. as the flag at the white house was lowered to half staff. president obama used the words "act of terrorism" today.while talking about the tragedy. something he stopped short this was a heinous
