Artist Date


I went to the Botero exhibition at the Bowers Museum yesterday. Wow. I didn't know much about him but went at the suggestion of a friend. We were lucky enough to join up with a docent and I'm so glad I did. It was thought-provoking, fun, challenging and a feast of color and perspective.

I found myself wondering why I haven't gone to see more art in this year that I haven't been working a traditional job. Yes, I've been to Paris and have done my share of gallery-hopping here at home, but I have this overwhelming feeling of a lost opportunity. What if I'd been in London or New York or Florence this last year and instead of all those hours walking or biking at the beach watching the silvery water I was studying paintings?
