So, I'm finally back from my trip and recovered from jet lag.

Museum tally:
* Britain- Victoria and Albert, Windsor Castle (Although not an art museum, it did have an astonishing collection of art)
* France- Musee d'Orsay (couldn't take photos, but it was /amazing/!), Louvre (many, many pictures there), Versailles (again, not technically an art museum, but quite a collection of paintings)
Total: 3 art museums, 2 others

I haven't had a chance yet to put my travel sketches in my summer sketchbook, let alone scan them, as I've been working on something very special at my internship. I'm interning in the education department at the Udvar-Hazy branch of the National Air and Space Museum, and we've been trying to find ways to make it a little more art, not just science. As a result, I'm creating a coloring book page for our "Become a Pilot Day" event on the 19th. It's a copy of a mural in the museum, "Celebrating 100 Years of Powered Flight" by Dr. Robert McCall. It's very exciting, but it's keeping me very, very busy. I can't post the image or my coloring sheet, but I can link to the artist's site: http://www.mccallstudios.com His paintings, especially his futuristic landscapes and cityscapes, are absolutely stunning.
