Marge and i took a drive out to Wheaton College today to see the most wonderful calligraphy collection, "Bound For Glory", by Timothy Botts.
This beautiful and inspiring exhibit is housed in the Billy Graham Center Museum. It is an exhibit of African-American Spirituals expressed in calligraphy. He speaks of Ethel Waters and Mahalia Jackson and oh, how i remember them from my childhood.
A breathtaking and impressive entry.
A lovely day in lovely surroundings.
The exhibit is there until September 8th. If you can, go and absorb the beauty and meaning here.And then we went on to check out the DuPage Art League, Carlson Paints and Dick Blick! A good day!

You are right, Gloria. I was fortunate to see him one time when I was young. I will never forget.
Been a long time since I'd been to Wheaton, or Carlsons or even Dick Blick. Road trip!
