Deonne and I attended a wedding in Dallas on Friday, and then went to the Kimbell Art Museum on Saturday to view the Chicago collection of Impressionist painting. We really enjoyed viewing the paintings from Monet to Van Gogh. I especially liked the early impressionist paintings. I discovered the work of the painter Monet described as really inspiring him, as being my favorite, based on the one painting of his I viewed. He is the Dutch painter, Johan Barthold Jongkind.

But what I was really was impressed with was not in the museum, but in a conservatory we visited after the museum. We went to the Botanical Gardens in Fort Worth.We explored a tropical rain forest contained in a glass conservatory. The variety, size, and diversity of plants were amazing. All of it living artwork of God. Wow.
