Into the Snow

Christmas is finally here, and I can't get enough of it.

Today we got out our Christmas calendar, which is my favorite decoration. Its this calendar my mom made out of an old coca-cola crate years ago, (like when they actually sold coca-cola in glass bottles and wooden crates long ago.), and some tinfoil ribbons and random mini Christmas figures. Every day we get to open a new present until finally its Christmas! Pretty much the most exciting thing ever for me as a child. It was fun listening to christmas music on pandora and wrap these little presents. When I get married I will for sure make one of my own.

Color

Being in Virginia I have the excellent opportunity of walking through the free museums of DC all I want. Recently at the Smithsonian American Art Museum I came across the "Color In Washington" exhibit, featuring abstract colorful art from Washington DC natives. Some of my favorites included these;

Red Azaleas Singing and Dancing Rock and Roll Music 1976 Alma Thomas

Yellow and Gray 1976 Felrath Hines ... This one was one of my absolute favorites

I also saw some gorgeous Frankenthalers and and Kenneth Noland, which you will have to discover yourself when you go to a museum by you!
