Nelson Front Lawn
For as much of my life as I can remember, the Nelson has called to me. It has always seemed so solid, so permanent, so trustworthy. I’ve wandered the halls since I was old enough to drive, amazed, inspired, sometimes amused – and every visit, drawn once again to the painting by Jan Van Hysum – it’s ultra-realistic depiction of flowers and insects leaving me slack-jawed no matter how many times I see it.
