Philidelphia

Up the tree lined boulevard, unashamedly modelled on Paris, to the National Art Gallery to see the Renior Landscape exhibition. The audio tape explaining the pictures added to the viewing.... the chidren's version was most enlightening.... and I got 95% in the test at the end. Did you know that this was the era when paint became available in tubes, making painting on site much quicker - a real blessing to artists and models alike.


The twilight view of the city from the steps of the Gallery, looking back down the boulevard was as beautiful as the pictures inside.
