These watercolors are from a recent trip that I took with the Dayton Art Institute. I have been a member of their Docent Organization for the last 11 years... a great group of people! In case you don't know what the word docent means (and many people don't) it is a fancy word for tour guide. We give tours of the art museum to visitors. Every year we take a trip somewhere to add to our knowledge of art. This years trip went to Atlanta to visit the High Museum of Art and the Atlanta Botanical Garden.
Yesterday's college visit results: Loveley campus but a bit too big. Stopped in Cincinnati on the way back to have dinner with my son. Great restaurant in east Hyde Park, Cumin. Indian fusion food. Great modern decor plus an outdoor patio. The "Jewel of India" martini is great... pomegranate and cranberry juice plus vodka. The lamb shank was delicious. And say Hi to the co-owner, Alex, born in Tunisia in North Africa. Very interesting man to talk to over a martini at the bar. Check out the website at www.cuminrestaurant.com.
What I'm working on today: Artwork is on hold while I head to Cleveland to help move my sister's mother-in-law to St. Leonard's in Dayton. I won't be able to post again until Tuesday and by then I will be anxious to get back to painting!
