french impressionists:

Monet
national gallery of art

Unexpectedly, I had an extra day off from work today-so I decided to treat myself
to this visiting exhibit at the mfah
These lovely paintings are from National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.
It always amazes me how extra small or extra large certain paintings
are when I actually get to see them physically and no longer
through books.  Books are great, but when it comes
to art so much is lost-the texture or the light for instance.
I'm so glad I got to see this exhibit before it left and I renewed
my museum membership as well-a win win situation.
