The second of the two special exhibits that I saw Tuesday at the National Gallery of Art was the “Andrew Wyeth – Looking In, Looking Out”.  It was amazing!

You must go see it before it ends in November.  His watercolor work is unbelievable.  And the subject matter is so interesting to see.

I saw the painting, Wind from the Sea, right after it was given to the National Gallery and was so taken with it.  I could feel the air blowing through the window as I walked by and saw it.  (Here is the first post I did about it.)

This show is only going to be on display in Washington so do yourself a favor and take time to go see it.  You will be glad you did.
