I am writing this from my East Point living room by the fire, Poesie at my feet, Ralph across the room reading on Friday evening 5:30 12/19/14.
The photos taken at the National Gallery are dated 10/26. This was a Sunday so I am fairly certain this is the day Ralph, Walt, and I went to the National Portrait Gallery to see the William Morris exhibit and then stepped in for a bit to the National Gallery. Ralph had a particular interest in William Morris. I believe I'm correct in saying he had an association with the Bloomsbury group, whom Ralph is studying in his Modern British Literature class. The more I learn about the artists of that time, the more interesting they become. I snapped these photos for Alberto to see.
Walt and I returned, maybe the following day. I know we looked for Ralph at FSU and realized his class went until 5. Walt and I went to the Tate Modern as well but only just got a peek. We saw at the National Portrait Gallery some interesting portraits by some of the Bloomsbury Group and we discovered the work of the Camden Group of artists. This was new to me. Regrettably, we hadn't time to stay long and explore. Our intention was to return soon. We failed. I also remember seeing a wonderful portrait of Paul McCartney by a friend of his brother.
So much yet to see next time we go.
