I ran away from home today  |
| |
| So what does that have to do with art? Well I was supposed to go volunteer at cat rescue today, and I did. But after that I had lunch and I went to an art museum. Yep, I did. The Crocker Museum in downtown Sacramento. http://www.crockerartmuseum.org/ Last time I went to an art museum, I went with Cary, and while it was interesting seeing art from the perspective of an 8 year old boy (he liked the Warhol exhibit and the primitive culture stuff, but he didn't think too much of the 19th century paintings), I wanted to see some from MY perspective. There were Dutch paintings and California themed paintings, ceramics by Japanese women, an Asian section, I don't remember what all. Usually I come away with at least one or two things that made an impression. This time, it was the building. Gorgeous wooden doors and stairway, inlaid ceilings and a mosaic floor upstairs. Oh, and one painting of a scene at night and I just liked the way the moon and the light from the moon played over the landscape. Oh yeah, and there was this expressionist looking landscape that I liked. Oh yeah and the inlaid Italian table. Oh yeah and the face on one of the Madonna's... Would you have liked to go with me? | | | | | |

| | Because I'm thinking of stirring some chocoloate into my yogurt later. Not good. That's against the rules, fridges have eyes and if word got around I could be ostracised. | | | |

| | I sure would have loved to have gone with you dawn! This museum looks fantastic. I took my daughter to our museum during the last school holidays and she loved it. She relished the dinosaurs’ displays because she had visited that section with her class at school so I got a very interesting lecture on the different types of dinosaurs. She liked the Art Gallery as well, fascinating stuff, I really enjoyed it there especially the 18th century paintings. Let me know when you are going next... (LOL) | | | | | | |

| | Although I've never been to an art museum I'd give it a whirl. I really like history museums and I once got to see the Ramses exhibit here in Dallas. Oh my gosh that was awesome!! I'll never forget it. But how cool would it be to go to a museum with you? Pretty cool I think. Will you pick me up at the airport? | | | | | | |

| | Hi, Dawnald! I would have loved it! I'm glad that Miami has a lot of museums, and they have wonderful exhibitions. I enjoy them tremendously. They're well worth playing hookey from other things. | | | | | | |
