the museum experience

I took the kids to Bellevue Art Museum yesterday.  And we had a blast!

I feel a lot of different emotions when I visit an art museum but the resounding one is LUCK or GOOD FORTUNE for being able to experience art at that moment... when most people are driving, texting, tapping away mindlessly at a boring job.  What a privilege it is to peek into an artist's world and see, or better yet, EXPERIENCE a time-consuming, detailed (maybe therapeutic?) piece.

This is Chris Antemann's work.  The piece below was my favorite, Feast of Impropriety,... super lustful and gluttonous... but still sort of playful and light-hearted.  Loved it!
