Too bad. <br /><br />I'm crazy about that Renoir - TWO SISTERS. Just gorgeous.<br /><br />And I just adore that Van Gogh self-portrait. It's always been one of my very favorite paintings.<br /><br />Hopper too is one of my faves.<br /><br />Can't wait to see the rest of your photos. <br /><br />Thanks for another gorgeous post.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-35281129938027542102011-06-21T09:52:54.579-04:002011-06-21T09:52:54.579-04:00I've never been to Chicago.

I've been to art museums around the world, but not to the one in Chicago, although I've been in the city numerous times. The paintings must circulate, because I've seen a number of them at other sites. I can't say I have a favorite artist, but Gauguin has a raw passionate style that appeals to me, as does his Bali subject. I've also been on different sections of Route 66, but didn't remember that it started in Chicago. Would be fun to drive the entire route one day.
