<---says when DD was in middle school, we took a trip to Philly and she wanted to go to the art museum to see this http://www.philamuseum.org/collections/permanent/102998.html
Her art teacher had talked about the painting. We shrugged our shoulders and said OK, what's wrong with a little culture. DH and <---ended up loving the museum, while poor DD was bored to tears.

<--- tells Robin that it's by Lawren Harris and is titled North Shore, Lake Superior
<--- says Lawren Harris was one of the Group of Seven along with Tom Thomson, etc.
 
<--- never heard of the Group of Seven so she googled it and found this

<--- oohed and ahhed over several of the paintings
<--- could spend all day roaming around the art museum
<--- tells Robin the local museum put together a French Impressionist exhibit a few years ago which included a Renoir oil on canvas of a little girl with a hoola hoop that <--- fell in love with
<--- bought the book that went with the exhibit which had a photo of that painting
<--- cut out the picture and took it to an art/framing place and had them
transfer it onto a canvas and apply brushstrokes so it looked like a real painting
<--- now has it in her living room on a little brass easel:D

<--- edited several times to correct atrocious spelling errors caused by her apparent dyslexia

<--loves the art talk and tells Shelley that her painting instantly brought back a memory of watching the sun set when the fam and <-- was in Key West two years ago :)
<--thanks Shelley for the happy thought :)
<--strives to even be a little "i" because DH is a medium "i" and his fam damily are all ginormous "I"s and rather intimidating :eek:
<--came from a hick fam damily whose garage was bigger than the house and the backyard was filled with numerous vehicles that didn't run :eek:
<--:7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7

<---was suprised to see the artist died in early 1900's
<---adds that <---had trouble a couple minutes ago getting back here
<---wonders if Cathe.com homepage is down again
<---luckily had copied Michele's link to forums and was carrying around in her purse
 
<--- tells Robin that <--- has found that the secret to modern art is to stare at it for a long time
<--- says you'd be amazed at what a plain circle on a white background will do if you stare at it for a while;)
<--- says that North Shore, Lake Superior has the most amazing quality of light she's ever seen
 
<---thinks Shelley is much better at art then this small i intellectual
<---did once stare at a Monet for a long time and could feel the spring-like breeze and hear the trees swaying
<---is actually a rather shallow intellectual who has to force herself to notice things like good art, good music, good writing, good food
<---can't hardly tell the difference between margarine and butter
 
<--- can definitely tell the difference between butter and margerine--lol
<--- understands what Shelley means about an amazing quality of light
<--- says that's why she likes Caravaggio and the Dutch Masters, for the way they use light and shadows
<--- confesses that she is not attracted to modern art but has seen some she likes
<--- saw a house that was totally furnishesd with antiques but had modern art paintings on the wall and thought it worked
<--- would never know how to make that work in her house
<--- 's DH likes it all

<--- doesn't fit in either, but her in-laws treat her pretty well
<--- says she is blessed with a kind and wonderful MIL and FIL who are brilliant but very down to earth and darn nice folk
<--- says whenever there is a DH damily gathering, <--- is the least educated person in the room
<--- thinks they include <--- for their amusement:7

<---Is baaaaaccccckkkk
<---Monday is not half as bad as expected! WHOHOOOO
<---Hopes everybody else is doing fine
<---Did Body Max and GS Legs this weekend...
<---Suprised that just the calf muscles are sore
<---Hates Body Max...too long and hard
<---Don't really know why I purchased Body Max 2
<---Maybe into pain?
<---Waves bye bye too!
 
<---has never done Body Max as one whole workout
<---but admires anyone who does
<---loves the mountains, but probably loves the beach and ocean more
<---thinks that's because the mountains are close and the beach is far away
<---adds that the mountains <---is talking aboot are little mountains
<---isn't climbing up giant western peaks
<---will just be strolling uphill and over rocks for about a mile
<---will then sit on very hard rocks with binoculars held in front of face
<---wonders if lowering and raising binoculars all day could be called an upper body workout
