New Posts along the Art Journey

Three weeks ago I traveled to Dallas for the annual Southern Graphics Conference. There were three days of meeting with colleagues from all over the U.S., sharing new artmaking techniques, exhibits at 5 diffrerent colleges in the Dallas and Ft. Worth area, and seeing collections in the area museums.

A memorable exhibit was a temporary exhibit at the Dalls Art Museum of Berthe Morisot's work. Morisot is the best known  French female Impressionist. I was surprised to learn that she was married to French Impressionist Edouard Manet's younger brother. I also learned that she had an equally talented older sister who gave up making art for life as a wife and mother. Here is a portrait of Berthe Morisot painted by her sister.
