We spent today looking at art that was sent in by Katherine, Diana and Jerry.  These are paintings that are done by famous people, but not necessarily in their normal style. We started out the meeting by doing this quiz together:  https://reverent.org/great_art_or_not.html .  We will do other quizzes from this website at future meetings. Here is the art we looked at today.
