Taft Museum of Art
Today we walked to The Taft Museum of Art. We get in with our NARM pass and I love getting value from our passes.
The Taft Museum of Art is in the oldest domestic wooden structure in Cincinnati. The house was owned by a bunch of rich people but ended up in the hands of Charles Phelps Taft, the half brother of President Taft. The house has since been turned into a museum showing off the treasures collected by the Taft family as well as some more contemporary art.

Robert Louis Stevenson - John Singer Sargent This piece stood out to me from across the room and when I read the artist I understood why. |
|
Europa and the Bull - Joseph Mallord William Turner |
|
At the Piano - James McNeil Whistler When I saw this I said to myself, "Whistler!". I wouldn't have mentioned this if I wasn't correct. |
|
Boy With a Hoop - Matthijs Maris Everybody loves a good hoop! |
|
Portrait of a Man Rising from His Chair - Rembrandt Van Rijn I saw this work from across the room and said to myself, "I know that artist". It just stood out among the other pieces. |
After the museum we headed downtown to go to a brewery and then we saw the image below. Donna and I both commented that we had seen it at the museum.

We were right! The Cobbler's Apprentice - Frank Duveneck |
|
It was amazing how much the Ash pooped out of the picture! In the mural the cigar was replaced with a baseball bat. |
New Brewery!

After the museum we walked over to Moerlein Lager House. It's right on the river on the Ohio side |
|
It was happy hour so we each had a beer and some wings for $5 each. We played pretend Keno and lost a lot of pretend money. |
Pinball!
I have been on a pinball kick. I have been watching tutorials on YouTube and learning and seem to be getting worse. I guess change is progress either way.

I'm thinking of buying this shirt |

I got some balls very stuck on Foo Fighters. |
