Greetings to all.  We went down to Houston to see the Gaugain exhibit at
the MFAH.  We arrived a day early and I went out and about, found this
family celebrating a birthday:

Some aspects of the artist's life could depress you:

I took a brief sojourn out of the exhibit into the permanent collection and
found this across the street:

Going back into the exhibit in a different room:

It seems that some of Gaugain's work needs a little introspection:

Houston being Houston you don't go outside to change buildings, you take a
tunnel:

All the best.
