Oh, and the little room of Paul Klee's work left me fairly awe-struck. It's been a while since I've felt so invigorated and inspired by an exhibit. It's good to feel excited about art again.

SFMOMA
My momma was in town last week and we spent the afternoon at SFMOMA. The Luc Tuymans show was good but the Anniversary show was fantastic. My favorite pieces:
This was a group of drawings by kids between the ages of 6-13 (I think...) from Rhodesia (today known as Zimbabwe), depicting daily life in their villages.
Of course, I lost the piece of paper where I wrote down all of the information but I believe these were created through an art program led by an artist (whom I can't remember) and then exhibited at the museum.
Two other favorites:
Theophilus Brown, The Referee
Clyfford Still, Untitled (previously Self-Portrait)

Ana Botezatu: Dream Pillow
My dear friends in Germany sent us a Christmas package. They mailed it in December and I just received it on Monday. Sometimes real mail is funny like that. It was almost like receiving a double gift; I had long forgotten about the gift and assumed it long lost.Inside were boxes of marzipan, cookies, super clever buttons, yummy smelling beauty goodies and the most amazing hand-embroidered dream pillowcase. The pillowcase was a belated Hochzeit gift and it is almost too beautiful to use.
The pillowcase is the creation of Ana Botezatu, a friend of my friends and a wickedly talented artist. I got a little carried away with the photos but I couldn't decide which little guys not to show off.
Even the button is amazing.
***Ana's work was also featured yesterday on Erin's blog, Design for Mankind.

the announcements that i made:
oak tree, redwood, california poppies from our yard. the 3 birds represent the redtail hawks that have nested in the eucalyptus tree. i printed these on brown cardstock on my gocco. though it was a bit of a hassle (i ran out of gocco ink and had to improvise with other ink and had to figure how to register the print), i'm pretty darn pleased with how they turned out!
