I enjoy travel and have been to quite a number of museums. Lately, I’ve begun writing up my reactions to some of the paintings I encounter. In these short essays, I try to focus on work by artists who are a bit out of the standard canon, but who deserve to have attention paid to them. Artwork that has a story to present if only someone will look.
