Yesterday we spent the day in the museums. I must comment on the Sorolla murals at The Hispanic Society of America: The great portrait painter, Everett Raymond Kinstler (see yesterday's Blog) informed me that these paintings inspired him to became a painter when he was only 11 years old. They are magnificent and are worth the trip to the upper west side, on Broadway between 155th and 156th Streets.

Afterwards we joined the National Sculpture Society members and patrons at the Cathedral of Saint John of the Divine on the upper west side for a private tour. One of our National Sculpture Society Fellows, Greg Wyatt, is Sculptor in Residence at the Cathedral. Greg has been a dear friend for over 30 years and is one of the most, knowledgeable and passionate artists I've ever met. It was great fun talking art and reminiscing about times gone by.
Later we all met at a charming local bistro (we reserved the entire place for our group) near the Cathedral for a cocktail reception, dinner and a lively good time.
