The St. Louis Art Museum just reopened with strict attendance controls. We wanted to have another look at the special show, Millet and Modern Art: From Van Gogh to Dalí. The subject is the influential 19th Century French painter, Jean-François Millet, an artist who had great impact but I didn't know well. Van Gogh worshiped him.
It was lunch time when we were done. We won't go inside restaurants yet but there was window service and a big terrace at the Boat House. You can rent a paddle boat, kayak or paddle board to putt around Forest Park's large system of waterways. We had our sandwiches and watched people glide across the water. It's as close as St. Louisans can get to a cheeseburger in paradise.

Sounds like a super way to enjoy lunch Bob, our Art Gallery opened last week too ✨
You are lucky. Our art museum has not opened yet and I miss it especially now that the heat has arrived.
Oooh, I didn't know that about Millet and Van Gogh...and I wonder how Dali might have been influenced as well. Glad you had a lunch by the lake...the boats look like fun.
I have a friend,(the climber). He is talking about canoeing this Summer so maybe you will see a few snaps from a canoe on my blog soon.
A splendid shot.
