Impressionists from Chicago


Julie and I spent Saturday afternoon at the Kimball Art Museum in Fort Worth where we saw a large collection of impressionistic paintings from the Art Institute of Chicago. We really enjoyed seeing works by Monet and Manet (I can't keep those two guys straight), Van Gogh (the Dutch pronounce his name "van goff"), Toulouse LaTrec, and lots of others. We rented those players you hold to your year to tell you what to look for and some historical background. You could just tell that the art snobs were looking down their nose at those of us who were so stupid that we had to use the things.


Wiggling the iPhone camera creates its own impressionistic technique, don't ya' think?

Oh yeah! Steve and I will probably use them too. ;)

Sounds like a grand time. I like those impressionistic guys. Much better than the newer weird stuff that looks like someone's bad dream or coughed up supper!
