Christmas in NYC

Christmas in New York City, hmm, where do I begin? First of all, the weather was better in NYC than back home. We combed the city, taking in the Metropolitan, Whitney, & the Modern. John Singer Sargent's work at the Metropolitan was my touchpoint. Monet's one-room exhibit at the Modern was overwhelming.

We walked to the Salmagundi Art Club which began in 1871 & is located in a brownstone on Fifth Avenue. On exhibit was the Miniature Show which showcased artists' paintings during the holiday. So wonderful to take in the heartbeat of local art associations as we travel.
