When memory shifts…

February 15, 2013Acrylics

In 2006, I saw two memorable paintings at the National Gallery (east wing) that I have wanted to revisit since that time. Of course, neither one is up now – as works shifts so people can visit many times and always see a different part of the collection. But, once there, I asked about both:...

Visit to the Met…
