What's in Winona, Minnesota?

Back in December of 2018 I stayed in Winona, Minnesota while I was curling in the United States Women’s Curling Association Senior Bonspiel (tournament) at the Centerville Curling Club in Wisconsin. We had some down time and I urged my team to go to the Minnesota Marine Art Museum. It’s a marvelous small museum with “great art inspired by water”. Its permanent collection has art by Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, Gauguin, Cézanne, Turner, Constable, O'Keefe, Cassatt, Homer, Cole, Wyeth, and many more. Photos were not allowed of any of these works, but I was allowed to take pictures of the temporary exhibit Annie Hejny: Waterlines. She creates abstract paintings harvesting water and sediment from various sources in her home state of Minnesota. Annie has great respect for the area’s ecology and environment. These are beautiful textured works.
