January 4 – Union Station Chicago

Travel winter 2018: Chicago and beyond

Thanks to Amtrak’s delays, I had a day to enjoy Chicago: a visit to The Art Institute (Rodin- one Gallery, the 5 Vuillards nearby – they are old friends, have to look in on them, and a quick peek at Fuseli’s drawings which I want to see more of ) a quick stop at Dick Blick for some fresh drawing pens, and ribs for lunch. Then it was time to hurry up and wait, leaving 4 hours late.

This morning I woke in Grand Forks ND, the land of the very cold.

The first leg

Two days of delays and I’m still in Chicago but very comfortable. Tomorrow? The Art Institute and then back to the train station to try again.

Enough

I’m ready for a new canvas.

Back to work

The exhibits and art fairs were fun, but time for the studio, ah!
