Quote of the Week

Minnesota 2011
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.   - Henry Ward Beecher

The best artistic expression comes from within ourselves.  I think the painting on the side of this building shows this very well, and reflects the many faces and places of the city.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend.

  4. Meleah- Thanks, we saw lots of interesting sights on that trip. It's fun to explore different cities.

    Nicky- Thanks! Like most of our weekends these days, it was a busy one, but there were delightful moments, like eating Krispy Kremes at one of the outside tables, feeling the breeze and listening to the birds.

    Hilary- Me, too. This was one particularly nice, colorful and expressive.
