Monet to Magnolia
What a fun Sunday I had yesterday! Hubby and I decided to take a trip into the city and see a little fine art at The Frist. We saw some fantastic work from my favorite period in art; impressionism, of course. Oh, how I love me some Monet! :) I loved looking at the Wheat Field and Low Tide at Pourville, near Dieppe. Ahhhh…. just takes me to my happy place. Other works we saw…. Rodin, The Thinker. Now, this may sound a little naive, but I thought the piece would be much bigger. Really, you could put it on your coffee table. The work that most surprised me was the Mondrian, Chrysanthemum. I think it took me by surprise because I never thought of him drawing flowers; I always associated him with works like Composition with Red, Yellow, and Blue.
After soaking in all of that fine art we were ready for a little nosh in Nash… so we headed downtown and ended up at a restaurant that serves one of my favorite beers, Sweet Magnolia. Mmmm Magnolia. Truly, the perfect end to a perfect afternoon.
