My husband and I went to an art museum this morning to see a private collection on display that was really knockout! Our favorite painting was the same: a little oil painting of Manet's of two roses on a table. Just exquisite. But the man had some taste. There were beautiful Vuillards and Derains, exceptional Picassos and Cezannes, and all manner of delights. Imagine living with such beauty! I didn't buy the catalogue, but found a book on Izit ceramics from Turkey that I had to purchase. The rest of my day consists of grocery shopping and laundry, but the images will stay with me and give me much pleasure.
We wandered around the museum after lunch looking for a textile show, but none was up, so we meandered through the landscape section and admired George Inness, Martin Johnson Heade, and Church. I love the luminists, and also the Hudson River school. We are lucky such beautiful works of art live nearby us year round, and we can always get in the car and visit them for a hit of beauty.
