Something About Nothing

Took a little trip out to Chicago to see my sister and we had to go to The Art Institute of Chicago.  It is my sister's favorite place and I have not gone in many, many years. It was a delightful afternoon, which had to be cut short because we didn't realize they closed at 5 p.m. Because of our short time available we made a plan to visit the Rodin exhibit, the impressionists, and a quilt exhibit! Rodin's sculptures were amazing!  The quilt exhibit was called: Making Memories: Quilts as Souvenirs One of my favorite things about seeing paintings is being able to look up close to see the paint strokes. I absolutely love Van Gogh Look at all the colors in there! And those short strokes of thick paint. Yummy. A very fun day with Sistah.

While in Arizona last week we took the grandkids to the Idea Museum . There was a fun Superhero exhibit going on, which was perfect for our superhero obsessed grandchild!  He wasn't as interested in drawing his own comic, or creating much of anything, but he loved the puppet theater, and the green screen with rotating backgrounds.   We spent a lot of time throwing rocks and logs at him while he watched himself fly through the air, or jump off a building.  Loads of fun!  And before someone reports us, the rocks and logs were pillows! Personally I loved the superhero artwork they had on the walls, and thought I would share a few of them here: Four, by Geoffrey Gersten . I found these four pieces very fun to look at. They were all created by Josh Ln. And lastly, these fantastic watercolors by Clementine.
