Deede's Graduation, and The Clark

Wednesday, May 5, 2021 - Wendy and I Headed West to visit family, watch Deede's Graduation on-line, and see The Clark Art Institute in Williamstown. The first stop was with Mimi and Charles (Wendy's niece, getting married this fall). After a delicious lunch, we gathered for Deede's Graduation (Charles had some work to do):







From there we headed 5 minutes up the road, on this rainy day:


The driving force for today's visit to The Clark is to see:

1 Winslow Homer I have not seen,
2 J.M.W. Turner oil paintings I have not seen,
and a bunch of Monets that I have not seen. So let's get started - Highlights include:

Winslow Homer - "Saco Bay", 1896:


J.M.W. Turner - "View of Margate, Evening", c. 1840:


They have 2 other Turners on display:

and it is always nice to see (and to be seen with) an old friend:
