Art Museum

We had a special tour of the Portland Art Museum and it was GREAT. What a wonderful place for children and the art is amazing. As you will see soon enough, we are getting into the art mode for now--the kids are loving painting and drawing and telling stories. I think we are doing a great job this summer inspiring little minds with our little summer group; it shows in so many ways.

This is an original Monet painting. One of his 250 Water Lilies that he painted during and after the First World War. The museum guide told us that he painted them for as relaxing encouragement for soldiers returning from the front.

Romka sneaked photos as we were going through the galleries. We had approval, but the various museum security people didn't know it so we were discreet and quick.

My photo wasn't as good as Annie Lebovitz, but I think that Luka is surely a character like Steve Martin.

My little artists creating their own masterpieces. Alyosha made an exploding volcano and Luka had a happy bear.

The Portland Art Museum will be our next membership--only $50 and so much to see!
