It was an uneventful week, but we had a nice time today. The Baltimore Museum of Art had three Matisse exhibits at the same time. We had breakfast at the Paper Moon Cafe, then visited the Matisse. The exhibit I enjoyed the most was about his painting of the Stations of the Cross. The Stations depict 14 scenes from the last days of Jesus’ life. Matisse spent 3 years learning about the Stations traditions, making dozens of drawings for each station panel. When he was satisfied that he could create the panels by heart, he painted his drawings on the wall of the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence, using chalk attached to an 8-foot bamboo pole.

I don’t have any pics of the art, but here’s one of the diner. It’s just as weird as ever. I hope all are doing well.
