Watercolor Paintings in the Barns Collection & Winslow Homer at the Philadelphia Museum of Art

I had a great time in Philadelphia last November looking at Art.  I was able to visit the Barns Collection. I saw a fantastic Winslow Homer exhibit at the Philadelphia museum, Shipwreck! I also saw "Dancing Around the Bride," which included some conceptual watercolors by John Cage and Marcel Duchamp.

The Barns has amazing work by Charles Demuth, and Paul Cezanne amoung others.  Here are some images from that collection:
