It has been quite a while since I have done a blog, and I am delighted to catch up with one of the pleasures of my life, visiting a museum with a grandchild.
Jackson was home from Skidmore, and so we invited him down overnight, and then had a great time at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Here are a few pictures of new art to me, and some old favorites.
Frank Bowling was a new artist to me, and the exhibition was very well done, and probably as good a representation as one would hope for.
