I am very tired tonight – a good tired – after walking more than 15000 steps according to my step counter as Ray and I explored the Art Institute today. We love this art museum and have been there several times but I think I could go every day and never really see – look up close carefully – everything that’s there.

I am sharing a few of my favorites tonight though I have many more favorites than I could ever share. But here are a few paintings that made me especially happy. I will need to be a lot less tired to be more eloquent. Suffice it to say, I came away inspired, which was my goal.
