Today I finally dug out a plein air painting I did late this summer in Wheaton, Illinois. My wife is a MAJORC.S. Lewis enthusiast (I'm a fan, but have not read all of his books). I'd heard about the Wade Center at Wheaton College, which is a museum/library that houses a major collection of books, journals, memorabilia, writings, photos, etc. from Lewis, Tolkein, G.K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Dorothy Sayers, Charles Williams and Owen Barfield--all who were a part of, or an influence on these, "The Inklings," who met for decades in Oxford, England. (Ellen and I were fortunate enough to have been able to visit and eat at the very pub in which they met, while on a trip to see friends in England.)
