click on the image and you will see some minute marks which are pretty obvious on a black background, imagine looking for those tiny specks on  a grey-green background and that is what I spend the best part of Saturday afternoon doing. Oh, the joys of framing and having fussy customers!

Anyway enough of that, I spend a great few hours in Fort Worth yesterday, seeing the Impressionist exhibition at the Kimbell Gallery and seeing my youngest daughter, Emily. I was going to say the day but then it occurred to me that is slightly inaccurate as it took about 7 hours to get there and back with about 4 ½ hours actually in Fort Worth.  However, it was worth the time to see Emily and the exhibition.

The exhibition itself was OK.  They had some really good paintings and some really sickly sweet paintings.  It sort of confirm my view that Degas, Monet, Van Gogh, Gauguin and Cezanne were in a class of their own. Renoir I am not so keen on, his work is a little too pretty for my liking but he was still an amazing artist. I wonder what they would have thought of the art world now.  

Emily never fails to amaze us as she grows older and more confident of herself.  Apparently, on Saturday, she and a group of friends decided to go and see the Flaming Lips parade in OK City.  Oh that only a nearly 400 miles round trip!  Oh! to be young again….I would have done so much more as as student if I hadn’t of been such uptight virgin :grn
