More snow in the night – the driveway had to be plowed out again.
Worked mostly on drawings, mounting them –
Evening – the Goodman’s visit – Stimulating and interesting – the museum business in all its facets. Visit to the studio - They fell in love with the tall “Moonlight in a Flower Garden” – I showed a few drawings – what they want I think were mostly drawings of homes, city motifs etc, of a smaller size.
I promised to give a first refusal on the “Moonlight” picture (probably next summer).
