My favorite collection in the vast and stately Minneapolis Institute of Arts is the collection of Modern Paintings and Sculpture where painters like Monet, Van Gogh and Degas are gracing the walls. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed standing in their presence, I almost have to sit down. (My aunt Irene understands. She feels the same way about turn of the century furniture.)

When Kasey told me that our friend, Sylvia, just returned from France and had visited Claude Monet's home in Giverny, I just knew I had to post some of the photos.

Thank you Sylvia for sharing these images. I've started a guest photo album where you can see a few more pictures from France.
