Wow March flew by...
Happy April 1st which means what we've all been waiting for, the A-Z CHALLENGE, is here!!!
A is for Art Gallery
Every year as a child, my grandpa used to take me to art galleries while we vacationed in Florida. At the time, I didn't appreciate leaving the beach for a quiet air conditioned room filled with untouchable items. Especially when I saw paintings that looked like someone threw paint-filled water balloons at a canvas. I finally began to enjoy it as I grew.
Almost 30 years later when we lived in downtown Philadelphia, I decided to take my girls to the Philadelphia Art Museum. I was a little apprehensive, thinking they might complain about it like I had. To my surprise, they were enchanted by the huge rooms filled with paintings, medieval weaponry, and statues. They even decided they wanted to take art classes in the museum.
The girls cherished their memories of the museum so much that when we visited Philadelphia last summer, they had to introduce their 7 year old brother to all their favorite galleries...and he was captivated as well!
Now they all draw better than me! Oh well, at least I've learned to stop assuming their interests will be the same as mine.
