Discovery Green

Last night we visited Discovery Green park in downtown Houston to watch a unique theatre group from Australia called "Strange Fruit" performing on 14-foot tall flexible poles.  What a beautiful and extremely interesting act.

Progress..

26 little drawings sure does take a lot of time.  I'm ready for some color! 

James Turrell : The Light Inside

On Saturday I took a little time on my own and went to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston to see James Turrell's exhibition.  I studied his work in college and was happy to discover he had 6 light installations on display.  I would definitely recommend a short visit to all Houstonians out there before the exhibition ends this September 22nd!

Work in Progress

I'm currently working on a "Texas Alphabet" painting and plan to get them printed as well.  Q for Queso,  Y for Y'all and  X for "All my X's live in Texas".  Why not?  I'm loving this little project.  I think it will look great when I'm finished!

Omi

Every other week Amelia and I drive up North to visit Amelia's great grandmother, Omi.  Omi is originally from Germany.  After the war she moved to the U.S. and lived in Colorado the majority of her life.  She's been in Texas for several years now so she could be near us.  I love listening to her fond childhood memories and watch her sing German songs to Amelia.  These moments are priceless.

The first thing Amelia said after a hug and kiss was "cookie!"

Omi is a huge fan of bird.  She even has a clock with different bird sounds at every hour.

Weekend Adventures:Sunday

These were taken at Brazos Bend state park.

We saw 4 alligators. EEH!

My Mother-in-Law is in town for the week.  We missed her a lot!

Look at those beautiful trees.

On the way to the park we saw acres of cotton fields in bloom, so on the way back I had to stop for a couple of pictures. 

Weekend Adventures:Saturday

 After a short weekend of selling art and a trip to our favorite state park, I've got loads of house work to do!  Here are a few photo's from last weekend.

We had a bit of a slow start on Saturday morning due to rain, but thankfully it stopped after an hour. 

Blue sky!

Amelia and David dropped by for a little bit and showed off some new sunglasses.   She cracks me up!
