APRIL BLOG

Image
It's APRIL and my easel and drawing board still await me. Because it is time for my once-a-month blog...here goes:    I hope everyone's Easter was filled with joy and thanksgiving and chocolate bunnies.    Our three weeks in London were filled with museums, visited and revisited, and a three day interlude in Barcelona.    Yes, there were discoveries. In Barcelona it was the free spirit of that city, past and present. In London it was the Courtauld (prononced COURT-OLD) Collection at Somerset House in the heart of London on Embankment Street at the Waterloo Bridge. The gallery and institution are located  across the open court, or from an entrance on Strand.     Fine art from many periods, but my delight was seeing several Cezannes, a van Gogh and other 20th century paintings so familiar and so often reproduced from this relatively small, yet amazing private collection. I recommend you google it.
