Fun! 12 hours ago

The music. The eat-and-drink-yourself-into-a-stupor. The fireworks. The people watching. And most of all, the company of Mollie and Julie!

I love 12 hours ago

soaking in the great architecture in various cities I visit, and my trip to Milwaukee this weekend was no exception. I stayed at the Ambassador, which has a great Art Deco lobby. And here is a clock tower right next to the Marquette University law school.

Milwaukee Art Museum 13 hours ago

I absolutely loved this place! Though I’m not a huge fan of modern architecture, this building is awesome, and I consider the building itself to be a work of art in itself. Its setting overlooking Lake Michigan is a part of what makes it work, and the fountains on the other side are also nice. There was a wedding party assembled along the long, narrow bank of fountains as I was leaving.

To be surrounded by beautiful things is soooo good for the soul, and when life isn’t completely peachy, it really makes a person aware of that fact.

There were so many things that caught my interest there, from a collection of unique clocks to American Modernist paintings, from the stunning giant Chihuly just off the main lobby to the ebony/ivory/mahogony backgamon set and other antique games, from the extraordinarily well-designed furniture and other functional art to the impressionist collection. Sculptures. Pop Art. Unusual glass pieces. You name it, they’ve got it – and all in a relatively small museum.

I found myself noting technique of the impressionist artists especially, and also what makes for good composition, since I’ve started doing a little painting myself.

Not to mention a gift shop that could break the bank. :) Yes, I did buy some gifts.

I am so grateful they were open on a holiday; I spent 3 hours there. This was definitely worth the trip downtown!
