Last Sunday Mr. B and I went to the Legion of Honor in San Francisco to see the Intimate Impressionism show from the National Gallery, Washington DC which they are remodeling.
Not Washington....but the Gallery.
Just thought I might have confused you there......
It was lovely and there were many great pieces but I did have a few favorites.
There are several pieces that I wanted to share with you....
The Artist's Sister at a Window by Berthe Morisot
The Artists Paint Box and Moss Roses by Edouard Vuillard
Sweeet!
Argenteuil by Claude Monet
Detail of Argenteuil
Just look at those yummmmy colors!
Table Set in a Garden by Pierre Bonnard
I can just see myself sitting in that garden having a cup of tea.
The last two are probably my favorites because they are just so painterly!
Then Mr. B took me for coffee and cheesecake at Caffe Trieste because I have been commissioned to do a painting of the little coffee house and I needed some reference material.
And then I took Mr. B across the street to......
Church !
This is actually the Nuova Porziuncola at the National Shrine of Saint Francis and is a scaled replica of St. Francis's Porziuncola in Assisi, Italy.
As we were driving home, we both felt like we had a mini European vacation!
Without Chevy Chase!!!
"For it is in giving that we receive." --St. Francis of Assisi
