Our second day in DC was rainy as all get out. We had plans to explore the city via bicycle, but opted for the Botanical Gardens and National Art Gallery instead.
There are several fountains in the National Art Gallery. This one is the Mercury Fountain in the Rotunda.
This was one of Tim's favourite paintings, by Van Gogh.
Tim liked Degas' sculptures, including these horses (mostly because they were Tim's size).
The gallery's modern and contemporary art are housed in a separate building.
This painting by Jackson Pollock is called Number 1, 1950 (Lavender Mist).
And this one is by Piet Mondrian, a Dutch artist.
Kandinsky and Klimt. Tim liked the colours.
Art that goes pop!
There's a lovely exhibit until July 8th on portraits by Cezanne. Like the other museums on our trip to date, this one was fantastic, and free (even though not a Smithsonian)!
