Nice afternoon spent at Glenstone.  

So beautiful there today, the grounds almost out shown the artwork, almost!  The Pavilions were less than exciting.  I kept getting drawn outside with the amazing windows and center fountain space.  Walking into the library was magical, the floor goes from stone to wood, and becomes sort of bouncy.  The pew faces an amazing picture window, and it almost looks like a screen (how sad).  It's so clear, you almost feel like there is no barrier.  Also noted that when people would get up or sit down the pew would move, and was so reminded of church, and had this strange sensation of love and caring for my fellow "viewers". It just conjured all these feelings.

Walked down the path to the gallery building and stopped at the Patio rather than the Cafe, it was too crowded and expensive.  Got a coffee and soaked up the small crowd.

The gallery was much more fun to view, with work that I could linger over.  Note: love the lockers that you can use to store your coffee!!  Especially loved the Cy Twombly painting that was framed so beautifully by the doorway, and it was a revelation to turn the corner and see the Basquiat again !!!  What. a treat!  And then really loved "the closet"  - just fucking amazing !!  Memories of our closet forts and painting with bill & John.  The closet was always the curse, hot and confined.

Walked back around the loop and took the long way.  What a great choice!!  Loved the landscape and sunlight.  It was just amazing.
