Cosmic Cafe
We went to dinner tonight with our friends Sheedeh and Maria to Cosmic Cafe veggie restaurant in Dallas after the art reception at Aria Salon. Zoe had a good time playing with Moo-Moo outside.

The Impressionists at The Kimbell
We went to the Kimbell in Ft Worth today to see The Impressionists. It was a great exhibition, it had Monet's Stacks of Wheat, Van Gogh's self portrait and Caillebotte's Paris Street; Rainy Day (which surprisingly is on a giant canvas-I didn't know). I could go on and on about all the artists, but if you're interested you can visit the site. We took some photos outside (cant take them inside). Overall we had a great time.
The only thing I dont like about shows like this is when your are trying to look at a piece of art and someone comes up, stands really close to you and breaths down your neck trying to get you to move over (a lot of Nietzsche's will to power going on at a crowded exhibition). Also, some people take these exhibitions extremely seriously, as if they are researching Monet's brush stokes for their doctoral thesis, so they have this "I just smelt a fart and it hurts" look plastered on their face. Its art, it doesn't smell like farts, so unclench and get that look off your face people.
Some people at these museums are extremely nice and friendly. One lady at the exhibition today commented to us "These artists would have loved to have some as beautiful as her (Zoe) to paint".

Art Reception
We just got back from the Outside the Lines 8 art reception at the Bath House Cultural Center in Dallas. It was a lot of fun being in the same show together. There was a large turnout for the reception and some great pieces of work.

Our little artist
Skip got a canvas tonight to start on a new painting. We came home, sat the canvas on the floor. Zoe went straight to her room, got a black crayon, came back without saying a word and started drawing on the canvas. She drew for about 5 minutes.
(Its abstract).

Zoë's Night on the Town
Both Zoë and Daddy had late naps so we stayed up late tonight! We went to the Dallas Museum of Art (Thursday nights the DMA is open late and its free). Afterwards we had dinner at Veggie Garden. You can see the beautiful cashmere sweater Nikki knitted for Zoë in the photos. She grew faster than Nikki could knit it, so this may be the last photo of Zoë in this sweater.
