:: Three of the sweetest kids at the Post-Impressionist Masterpieces Exhibit at the deYoung, along with their sketchbooks
:: G & Sophia commented throughout the exhibit
:: While Isabella studiously scribbled the names of the artists and titles of their works, G sketched the work of arts that featured animals in them. The dead cougar painting was one of his favorites.
:: Had to see this Dale Chihuly piece before we left the deYoung
:: The kids post-exhibit w/ their Fairy Godmother, Cheryl
:: The kids burning off some steam atop a sculpture in the garden
:: Posing w/ a french street scene mural inside the deYoung
:: Chocolate Cinnamon Paletos at Nopalito
The day was crystal clear, warm and the children's mood infectious. They were armed with sketchbooks, shared discussions about sweet breads and frog legs, ran through the sculpture garden and policed all of the offending adults/kids who were "touching" the art and discussed the finer points of what they saw in the masterpieces they were viewing.
Not out of character, Grady bonded with each masterpiece by locating and identifying each animal in the great works. As he stood before the painting of Orpheus, he commented on the two tiny turtles in the lower right-hand corner - never mentioning the woman carrying the dismembered head. I found that interesting.
In life, it's all perspective, right?
