I really enjoyed the exhibit. Monet is definitely one of my favorites, so it was neat to see some of his beautiful work in person. Surprisingly my favorite painting was actually a nude by Renoir. I think that it is the bold colors in the background along with the confident look of the model.

Gess's favorite was also a Renoir (called The Wave 1882)
I also loved this Monet:
Also, visiting an art museum was on my list, so I get to cross something off! Yay! :)
So for the "Checked Off the List" post:
Why did I put this on my list?: I love looking at art, but have only been to the Seattle Art Museum once since we have lived here.
How did I do it?: I really wanted to see this particular exhibit, so I waiting until nearly the last weekend and then made sure we went :)

We went to that while up there :) We enjoyed it and Matt's cousin is an artist so it's appropriate. When you go back, you HAVE to go to the Greek and roman room. There is a painting, 1st century roman, high on a left hand corner of a wall. It's just a face, and the face looks IDENTICAL to Bill Murray... I caught it out of the corner of my eye and my brain was like "Why is there a painting of Bill Murray?" Brought Matt and Kory both over and they agreed!
P.s. Missed you at Ipanema and definitely miss you in chat!!!!!
Looks like fun!!!
I know I am super late on catching up on blogs hehe
Monet is one of my absolute favorite artists! I love his play with light. So awesome. Glad you got to go see the exhibit AND to check something off your list :)
