Joshua Tree National Park

The desert holds a quiet kind of beauty.
Branches rise toward a wide, open sky.
Light moves slowly across ancient land.
Stillness settles in every direction.
The desert reminds you beauty endures.

OK, it's one of those lifetimes when I want to disappear into the woods, but I was trying to be polite.

How many necklaces is Sunny holding in this photo??

Guess correctly for a chance to win a @STLMardiGras prize pack, including two passes to ride on the Blues Alumni parade float, two tickets to the Blues Alumni Tent, and more 🎉

Happy guessing! ❓: stlblues.me/3ZaWtTr

Monet met 19-year-old Camille in 1865 and she became his muse, model, and partner in crime!

Just months after she moved in with him, they fled their new home to escape creditors. The young couple did this several times.

Time for another one of my old London paintings. I completed this one on a crowded street and the main focus is St Martin-in-the-Fields but I also enjoyed dashing in the passing people with a few pen strokes. This went into an exhibition and sold immediately.

Myelita's Midday Masterpiece today @ 2pm ET on WDAV.org is Schumann’s Symphony No. 3 in Eb, the “Rhenish”

This piece is a joyful musical portrait of life along the Rhine River. Written in 1850 during a particularly happy period, it brims with sweeping themes & rustic dances.
See 'ya on the radio!
