Distance: 2.5 miles and nice, long home yoga
Oh good; it's settled ahead of time. Ciwt has always wondered which artist she would spend his money on when she meets her tech billionaire. She thought Vermeer, and of course Matisse. But the Matisse multiples she has look great and do the trick. And Vermeer is a little too formal. But, Turner! - oh my, his art looks just perfect in her home.
Her art-going friend surprised her with a lovely reproduction of one of his finest watercolors. Which is saying something - because Ciwt and others believe that was his strongest medium of all. At first she was going to hang it, but then she noticed that no matter where she places it, it imparts a warm, soothing glow that encourages everything around it to twinkle a bit more. Magic really.
PS - Here's the original, presently visiting San Francisco in the de Young Museum's Turner show:
JMW Turner, The Blue Rigi, Sunrise, 1842, Watercolor on paper
