Purpose of this blog

24 best painters according to Google. 

You know I was thinking about starting an art blog for a while now, but I've always just put it into my all purpose blog.

I'm reading All The Beauty In The World by Patrick Bringley, and I'm planning a trip to the Met with my daughter in 6 days. The Frick is open now and I'm going Wednesday too. 

I had a normal childhood in Wisconsin. My stepfather paints, and I took a drawing class in college, got an A. My eldest son was really into drawing and for a time there both sons were into drawing. Now I have a 9 year old daughter who sometimes likes to draw, has an aesthetic eye. I have a blog for her art. I had a blog for photos from my stepfather. I put my sons art on Facebook: William, Andres, Ruby. I don't think those links work unless you're signed into FB. 

There's a part of me that's always valued text over the visual, but I'm entering my second childhood and discovering my taste for art. 

I've been to museums in many cities: Chicago, LA, New York, London, Paris, Madrid, Moscow, Leningrad, Mexico City, Quebeck, Montreal, Santa Fe, Quito, Guayaquil.

Anyway, I hope to add to art history, art criticism, art appreciation. 

I've always put my Buddhist art on my Buddhist blog (two). Took photos of the Manet/Degas exhibit too.
