While tourists were at the Cherry Blossom Parade, I went to the Portrait Gallery/American Art Museum. By far my favorite museum in D.C. They continue to change up the exhibits so it is always interesting. I usually hit one or two exhibits for about an hour, leaving much more to see the next time I visit. This time the exhibit was George Ault and 1940's America. It was stunning and I feel in love with the realism of his work. Here is some examples of his paintings:
