Friday Smiles 293: a trip to the Art Museum part 5

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'll begin with a few funnies:

These are actual resumes I copied from the pages I found when I cleaned my desk last winter.  I've shown some the past two weeks, and here are a few more.

“The company made me a scapegoat, just like my three previous employers.”

“Finished eighth in my class of ten.”

“References: none. I’ve left a path of destruction behind me.”

And for those of you who like Dr. Seuss, here is a person who loves their job, as told to Dr. Seuss.

I love my Job, I love the Pay!
I love it more and more each day.
I love my Boss; she’s the best!
I love her boss and all the rest.

I love my Office and its location –
I hate to have to go on vacation.
I love my furniture, drab and gray,
and the paper that piles up every day!

I love my chair in my padded Cell!
There’s nothing else I love so well.
I love to work among my Peers –
I love their leers and jeers and sneers.

I love my Computer and all its Software;
I hug it often though it doesn’t care…
I love each Program and every File,
I try to understand once in a while!!

I’m happy to be here, I am I am;
I’m the happiest Slave of my Uncle Sam.
I love this Work; I love these Chores.
I love the Meetings with deadly Bores.

I love my Job – I’ll say it again –
I even love these friendly Men –
These men who’ve come to visit today
In lovely white coats to take me away!!!

 Now back to the museum where I spent nearly six hours with two teens and a tween one day this past July.   For some reason, I thought I had taken tons of photos in this room.  Instead, I had taken tons of photos of the same art, because I couldn't get it to turn out legibly.

Wichita Art Museum or WAM calls this room Heritage of the West - A Romance Gone Forever.   There are 20 paintings and from what I can tell, one sculpture in this collection, which is permanent at WAM.

All their photos are SO much better than mine.  If you want to see the art better, feel free to click on the link above, although the images don't enlarge like they do in other galleries.

This is the Charles M. Russell gallery.   According to Russell's web site:

Charles Marion Russell (March 19, 1864, St. Louis, Missouri - October 24, 1926, Great Falls, Montana), also known as C. M. Russell, was an artist of the American West.

Russell created more than 2,000 paintings of cowboys, Indians, and landscapes set in the Western United States, in addition to bronze sculptures. Russell was also a storyteller and author. The C. M. Russell Museum Complex is located in his hometown of Great Falls, Montana houses more than 2,000 Russell artworks, personal objects, and artefact's.

No matter how many photos of this wall I took, they turned out unreadable.

The two younger children loved this room and I could barely get them to leave.  However, after awhile, other galleries called to them, and they were finally lured away from the Russell collection.

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.
