You Must Have Art

I am very excited about the plans we have made for tomorrow. It will be a day dedicated to museums. First will be the Museum of Fine Arts-Houston. Then to the Health Museum and finally, the Childrens Museum. Since there are no special exhibitions at the MFAH I will be staying with the group. I must admit that the Impressionist exhibit from the Met. filled my soul. I will take a aketch book with me but with 3 girls I don't think I will be stopping anywhere for long.
A friend sent a link about an artist in Utah who paints portrairs of fallen soldiers for the familes who have given up sons, daughters,fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters so that we might be free. What an amazing talent and wonderful gift.

We will be leaving here Friday morning after 10 wonderful days. Everyone has had a great time and we appreciate the hospitality. I have survived the humidity that comes with Houston in July. It's like trying to breathe under water. I did not get to do any art supply shopping but I will survive. A new Jerry's Artarama opened here but it's about an hour and a half away. It's funny that I don't think much about driving an hour one way to eat dinner in West Texas but think twice about it here.
