You can read tales about our adventures on March 1st, June 1st, September 1, and December 1st. I am thrilled to participate with this amazing group of women. At the end of my post, you'll find links to join the other toters and read what they've been doing this quarter.
During February, Carrie Ann Hall and I were blessed to attend the Van Gogh Immersive Exhibit with two friends, when it was in Oklahoma City. It was a magnificent experience. Van Gogh's work consumed every surface of the room, and his experiences as a painter during his lifetime, moved across every surface of the room (including those of us who were viewing his works) to the symphonic music of his generation. Notice how the visitors make you look twice to tell if the person is observing or perhaps a part of Van Gogh's painting. During Van Gogh's career, light sources were changing rapidly from candle light, to large candleliers, to the electric light bulb.
The exhibit teaches its viewers about the influence of different forms of light as Van Gogh captured each moment. In this exhibit, even the floors became a part of the experience, and everything segued seamlessly from one painting to the next. Once you entered, you were allowed to see the film loop as many times as you wished. We studied his stroke work, his use of color and light, his love of nature, and learned more each time we observed the presentation. I shall allow the pics to speak for themselves, and I hope that if you are close to one of the sites where the exhibit is still scheduled to open, that you’ll be able to attend. Our venue produced an exquisite presentation.
Given the opportunity, Carrie Ann Hall and I would secure our reservations and attend it again. I give it 5 stars. The gift shop was a treat, too. They sold everything at 75% off. My favorites were the variety of teacup, saucer. and spoon sets available for purchase. A great number of each pattern jumped into my basket. I'm going to have a major tea party! You're invited.
It's going to be great to share our adventures and journeys with you come June1. I know that all of us are eagerly looking forward to Spring after the brutal winter that we've all experienced this year. I pray that each of you is safe and warm now.
