Most of you have read my remarks about the Detroit Institute of Arts. Mind blowing how stunning it is in every way. Their knowledge, creative display, and professionalism – I appreciate it so much. It’s the only way to keep these remarkable paintings intact over so many years. OK, the big question – can YOU guess who this artist is (signature has been altered to be unrecognizable).
Here goes – one last chance to figure it out before you peek below. Good luck to you!
