Then on the third day, we took the train into the city...

...and finally arrived at the Art Institute of Chicago to see the originals. Here's our group under Georgia O'Keeffe's "Sky Over Clouds", right

First, we spent two classes at Christine
Thornton's Art Studio copying works of art
that are located at the Art Institute.
...and walked for awhile...
