How times change. Back in 1895 artiste Henri de Toulous-Lautrec scandalised Paris with his paintings of Can-can dancers.

The movement and the light in those is wonderful.

Meanwhile we recently returned from a week in D.C. the larger part of which was spent by my wife @Lia Cook in the clinic at the National Institute of Health getting studied for her Pure Autonomic Failure condition. They lose their funding after this year but they've been following her for almost 15 years. We decided to risk infection to go because a version of Paxlovid was developed for people with low kidney function and we brought along a bottle.

While she was in the clinic I spent my days at the nearby Safra Family Lodge, an old mansion surrounded by a garden.

I'd get the provided continental breakfast and then head over to the clinic later to visit and share a meal with Lia, sometimes playing a hand of cards afterwards. But on Thursday she was checked out of the clinic and into the lodge with me. Thursday 6/6 evening we took a cab to an event involving the show her work was included in https://americanart.si.edu/exhibitions/fiber-art-by-women, Friday we returned for another event and Saturday early we got cab to the airport to fly home.

The lead doctor in her study attended the event on Friday which Lia greatly appreciated. (This photo and the next by Tom Grotta)

All the work in the show has been collected by the National Art Gallery including this one by Lia.

Here are photos I took of some of my favorite pieces in the show but I liked all of them:

I like the blend of semi-impressionism with the photo-realism of the figure. Very pleasing in both this painting and the next one you posted, Rose.

Agreed. I had to take a second look to see if it was a painting or photo.

Searching for the facts about Mallard, the steam engine that went into the history books as the fastest steam train ever, I came across Derek Shapiro's amazing portrait of the very engine, seen here at York Station. Click the link to see other work by this very talented artist.
