A couple days of wet and cold and I'm longing for sunshine.
It will be a day or so before it brightens up.
In the meantime there's nothing like a cup of tea and a warm still life to gaze at.
These works from The National Gallery of Art have a nice Thanksgiving vibe.
The National Gallery of Art has a great website, NGA, and prints are very reasonable.

Have a great weekend!

Love the still lifes. I wonder if you can get prints of any of these. One would look good on my orange-whipped apricot creamsicle wall. (Sherwin-Williams matched it perfectly for me.)
ReplyDeleteTrix, I've purchased lots of prints from the National Gallery through the website,www.nga.gov. It is a great resource. And darn nice museum!
