Friday Smiles 291: a trip to the art museum, part 3

Annie our host at Friday Smiles has agreed to link me each week until I can get Mr. Linky working for me again.  Thank you Annie.  I appreciate you for taking time to do this.  I hope you are feeling better this week.


I'll begin with a few funnies:

These are actual resumes I copied from the pages I found when I cleaned my desk last winter.  Some of these are TOO funny, some are just sad.

“I have lurnt Word Perfect 6.0 computor and spreasheet progroms.”

“Am a perfectionist and rarely if if ever forget details.”

“Received a plague for Salesperson of the Year.”

“Wholly responsible for two (2) failed financial institutions.”

“Reason for leaving last job: maturity leave.”

“Failed bar exam with relatively high grades.”

“It’s best for employers that I not work with people.”

“Let’s meet, so you can ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ over my experience.”

“I was working for my mom until she decided to move.”

“Marital status: single. Unmarried. Unengaged. Uninvolved. No commitments.”

I'll share more of these next week.

Now back to the museum where I spent nearly six hours with two teens and a tween one day this July   This next room is the Rotunda Gallery.  It is known as An American Salon of 19th Century paintings.  The walls are a garish yellow, making the viewing more difficult.  You probably wouldn't know many of the artists, because they are all American painters from the 19th Century.  I couldn't get out of that room soon enough, although the children seemed to like the paintings and those hideous yellow walls better than I.

Note # 21 is a Winslow Homer, and a rather famous painting.  At least it was one I recognized.

The next area was called Americans in Paris.  You might be able to read about this area above.

The children were all excited over this room.

I recognized this as a Theodore Robinson.  He has several paintings in the museum.  He spent a great deal of time in Giverny. 

It was here I realized I accidentally deleted several paintings from my computer.  When they are gone, they are gone.

This is the last of the ones I didn't delete and the last of the Impressionist paintings.

We decided to take a short break and look at the sculpture outside.  

Sadly it was so hot, we didn't stay long.
 Upon our return, we saw this wall of mirrors.  It was difficult to get them with no one in the photo. 

Thanks for joining the children and me again at the museum and thanks for your continued visits and support.  Now let's visit Annie's Friday Smiles, where it never hurts to begin the weekend with a big smile, just like Annie's. Feel free to join in with a post of your own, too.
