I spent an absolutely lovely day at San Francisco's Legion of Honor Museum. Those who know San Francisco know that it is frequently shrouded in fog. A wonderful heat spell is currently bathing the bay area in warmth and the views of the Golden Gate Bridge were spectacular.
We were greeted with blazing bursts of orange, yellow and red glass twisting and shimmering in the sunlight. Dale Chiluly's glass-blown sculptures are amazing.
The Legion also offeres a large blue piece which must stand close to 15 - 20 feet tall. 
The piece that really caught my eye is a large three piece chandelier which hung from a domed glass ceiling. Fabulous!We went to see the Women's Impressionists exhibit. We were not allowed to photograph anything, but I carry the images with me. If you can, get to San Francisco to see this amazing exhibit. Mary Cassat, Berte Morrisy, Eva Gonzalez and another whose name I unconveniently forgot.
We had time to visit the main galleries, where I found Rodin, Cezanne. Picasso and Sissely among others. 
Horrible photography, but you get the idea. I've spent the rest of my time recreating my studio. It's an enormous amount of work and I really wish I had 2 working arms.A little shaking going on in the Bay Area. A 4.2 earthquake just shook us up. Just a big jolt. No damage here.
A very late dinner awaits
. Enough for now.

I saw the Chihuly exhibit when it came to the Botanical Gardens in The Bronx, NY. It was magical! That huge yellow sun was at the entrance and I had the picture as my desktop for a long time. I've seen his work in many places ,but this one had the most pieces. They were all over the gardens and in the conservatory. I'll never forget it.
