Congratts on your special day!

Laura found her true love!

Summer don't end!

Let it rain!

Ah, what a powerful rain we had today!

I love it when it pours like that!

The sky is releasing it,

let it all come out!

We all have to exercise that once in a while!!

Louise Bourgeois

At the Guggenheim, there is a great exhibit of Louise Bourgeois. http://www.guggenheim.org/exhibitions/exhibition_pages/bourgeois/index.html

She is an amazing artist who is still creating at 96+ years.

How cool is that?

As always when I see a show, I have to get the book.

Here are a few shots from the catalog... I've always loved her drawings, many are in ink on

random paper, or from journals.
This intrigues me, it is a "family" or "forest".
These are life size. A totem of stacked pieces that can spin around.

There is always inspiration out there!!!

Prince

Remember, it's what's on the inside that matters.......
