It's a drizzly and grey Saturday (March 29, 2025) in Saint Louis but our impromptu gathering of random educators comes together nevertheless.
Tammy Slater says this pic of her is horrible. Kathy McCaslin says the pic of Marty (her husband in plaid) is bad too. Marty wonders how the Panorama Restaurant can call it a Chef's Salad without any Romaine Lettuce. Tim Neckerman assures me that the temp who was teaching gym is covering the art classes at Old North (the classes once covered by Wes Morgan). Kathy provided adorable Voodoo dolls as attendance prizes for each of us. Nicole enjoyed her pancakes but doesn't like blueberries. Kelly Hock is in Barbados at her daughter's wedding. Brian McCalpin is recovering from pneumonia. Candace Baker is a no show. So Wes' reservation for six at the Panorama Restaurant in the East Building at the Saint Louis Art Museum is perfect (In spite of persnickety critiques of photo skills and food prep).
The Panorama Restaurant gets high marks from me on courtesy, friendliness, service and artful food presentation.
The group was treated to a mini tour from former art teacher Wes Morgan of some of his favorites, subject to limited attention spans.
("Did you know that of the Saint Louis Art Museum collection, only 16% can be on view at any given time?")
Rothko is back. This piece has not been on view for a while.
Louise Nevelson is a favorite.
This Bull is something like 4,000 years old. I hope I look that good at age 4,000. It's from the Early Dynasic III era, maybe 2600 BC.
The group departs as the grey skies continue as the rain subsides.
The Mountain by Aristide Maillol (1861-1944)
ART STILL HAS TRUTH
TAKE REFUGE THERE
