Hello and welcome to our first post in April. I did not do a post last week since I was in Chicago, but I did end up going to the wonderful Chicago Art Institute where they had a special exhibit on Matisse. Unfortunately they did not allow any photography. However, I did get some other photos in the museum along with the surrounding Millennium / Grant Park. I will post these next week in a special post all about Chicago.
