The weather was still rather unpleasant today, so I only had the opportunity to paint one picture.  After freezing, it seemed like a good idea to visit a museum, so off I went to the René Descartes museum.  It is located only 14 km from Barrou, and is open daily from 2-8.  At the time of René's birth the village was named la Haye en Touraine, but sometime after he became famous for his philosophy, the name was changed to Descartes.  As the weather forecast is rather bleak for the rest of the week, it is rather iffy for doing plein air paintings.  I may be reduced to doing studio-type paintings in the house.  We'll see.  A demain.
