As  I mentioned earlier this week we just spent two

weeks in Ontario and Washington DC. So we

spent a lot of time in museums and galleries.

One place I wanted to visit was the National

Museum of American Art as I especially wanted

to see works by Thomas Hart Benton and

the Hudson River School however we were

not expecting the beautiful exhibit of folk art.

My wife did find the comment in the visitor

book that " Some of this stuff looks like any one

could have made it " amusing. I though a lot of it

was beyond my skill, patience and imagination.

Rather than ending with a quote from a poem

I thought I would end with a quote posted in the

museum.
