The art trip of a lifetime.
One of my bucket list items has been a dream to go to Paris with my sister, Barbara. She is a true artist, but had never been, and an opportunity came to go with Adeline Goldminc-Tronzo, who teaches art in New Hampshire, and takes a group of maximum eight on a five-day very intense museums visit.
I am going to do a series of blogs on the trip, and hope you can tell how thoroughly I enjoyed every one.

The Eagle Hunters
(I am ashamed to say, I was suffering fiercely from jet lag, and didn't
write down the artists' names. My apologies) |

| Because I had been to the d'Orsay twice before, this time I concentrated on the decorative arts. |

| By far the favorite museum of most Americans |

What great photos, Doug! Well done!
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful week - due in no small measure to your good company - and I look forward to seeing more of your images in future posts.
And I have to say, I've never been blogged before; it's quite a thrill!
