Rebel’s Rest
We just returned recently from picking up our son from his school in Sewanee, TN. We were fortunate to stay at Rebel’s Rest — an on campus inn for alumni, guests and travelers. I was pleased with the quiet, cozy ambiance and the artwork captured the essence of overlooking the bluff. As the University had just ended it’s school session, we’ll have to check back in the fall to finally see those restored watercolors of the domain.
A Couple of Exhibits
My Helsinki through May 31st looks intriguing; although, since I’ve been traveling, I’m not sure I’ll be able to see it, except for this weekend. I like the concept of cast off treasures becoming “Everyday Monuments” by Jean Shin as part of the Common Threads exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Her “Chance City” comprised of lottery tickets as a House of Cards, changes daily as onlookers walk by it and cards fall. It runs through July 26th.
Lost Mural
A quick story in the Washington Post Magazine showed Urban Murals. I was reminded that sometimes we don’t see them all. Here’s a “lost” or covered one by G. Byron Peck. Personally, I like his mural of Duke Ellington. He also has others around the DC including inside the Metro.
