My new blog art

I never knew. Renoir had a favorite model called Nini, which happens to be my name. This is a new acquisition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Renoir's "Nini in the Garden." I will be using this as my official blog art. I found out about this painting when I happened upon a bottle of Shiraz with the label "Nini" last month, and learned about the painting from the label. The wine I am not so crazy about--a bit sour for $14--but I am delighted with the painting. I even found a reproduction house online and ordered myself a reprint, which I will frame and put over my desk.
