Made it to The Renwick this morning for the final weekend of "The Art of Gaman"exhibit.  My daughter and I  also toured " A Revolution in Wood- The Bresler Collection and the permanent collection.   Lunch was pizza and Moretti's at Ella's Woodfired Pizza on  F Street- then made our way down to the National Gallery.  Tomorrow is the last day for the exhibit "Pre Raphael Lens-British Photography and Painting 1848-1875 .  The Chester Dale Collection- "From Impressionism to Modernism closes on July 31, 2011.  We fortified ourselves with gelatto from the Cafe at the East Wing and made a quick trip through the galleries- we can't leave without spending some time in the Calder Room.

I am excited to start a new grad. class at McDaniel- "Painting Techniques of the Past".  Encaustic, fresco, egg tempera and gilding will be explored.   Four new media  for me....four opportunities for total disaster!

    On my daily walks-even prior to the arrival of Lucy (the second best dog) I find many treasures.
    Money, hardware, parts of childrens' toys.... all find their way into my art.
