Later in the week, I had a few hours (not nearly enough time) to visit the Chicago Art Museum. Again, it was just a feast for my eyes and my soul to see such lovely art in person, to consider the creative genius and the technique involved in creating art and objects that would continue to move viewers centuries after their creation.
The day I returned home my daughter had a new baby girl--not my first grandchild but that doesn't make her any less special. My son-in-law sent me a photo in a text message, but it wasn't good enough. The next day, I got the chance not just to see this little doll but hold her, too. Much better than a building or painting. I could hold this beauty in my hands!
What a beautiful baby! Buildings and art are awesome, but babies are the best!
ReplyDeleteWould you believe I took a photo of the same painting when I was at the Art Institute on Sunday afternoon? Unreal! Great minds think alike.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your baby grand-girl. :)
My goodness, you got home just in time! Your post really had a surprise at the end, & I loved your connection to the earlier experience-better than a building or paintiing! Congratulations to you & the baby's parents. She is beautiful; newborns don't always look as cute!
ReplyDeleteI agree...your beautiful granddaughter is much more than that of the buildings or paintings. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetie! Love her hair! She is an amazing work of art. Sounds like you had an amazing week. :)
ReplyDeleteLove all the pictures. Congratulations on the new little work of art!
