National Gallery of Canada

I spent an hour in our National Gallery. Each time I visit I remember my first visit and walking up the long granite ramp under the sun streaming in thought the glass.  Happily it is different every time. Exhibits are constantly moved revived and reinterpreted. Most noticeably this visit, the Canadian art galleries are liberaly salted with indigenous pieces including a very fine wool and bead sash. 




I was also quite struck by this Ai Wei Wei ceramic piece. 


And some other contemporary pieces. 








And I found one of my favourite Mary Pratt paintings of red currant jelly


Next a nap as my flight got in at 3 am.
