Tuesday we took a field trip to the Kimbell Art Museum to see "The Impressionists" paintings (from the Chicago Art Museum) by Cezanne, Monet, Renior, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, and others. I wanted to see this collection because when Pete and I were on our Mediteranean Cruise in June, I visited Paul Cezanne's home in Provence and saw his studio and several items he painted (a vase, table, sculpture, etc.). It was told to us by our guide that France didn't care to keep any of Cezanne's paintings which is why most of them can be viewed in the U.S.
Jordan and Madison enjoyed this trip to the museum, too. Jordan especially liked Monet and Van Gogh while Madison admired Cezanne and Renior, especially the Two Sisters painting, since she found out that the girls in the painting are not really sisters.
The photo is the girls in front of the Fernande Leger Running Flower sculpture.
