Spring is finally here and the saying about April showers has been true. I've been saying for months that if Houston can string two sunny days together we are declaring a holiday. But the weather hasn't stopped my sunny spirit and feelings of joy for the whole family. I've been basking in the glow of Jake and Gina's wedding - already one month ago, and the upcoming birth of Tyler and Gabby's first child in October. I've already seen my first grandchild's first picture and he/she looks gorgeous to me.
This guy, beautiful adorable Grant James Schluetker, my one and only great nephew, is now 3 years old! Happy Birthday darling.
Around Houston there's always plenty to do and The Houston museum of fine arts has kept things interesting with their selections of modern and contemporary art including this piece from Ernesto Neto from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Other displays currently showing include Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, then you move into the Cubist avant-garde. There are so many galleries it's hard to keep up but I know I also saw some Surrealist masters such as Max Ernst, Joan Miró, and Yves Tanguy, and Postwar Abstraction works by Anthony Caro, Lucio Fontana, and Ellsworth Kelly. Newer directions in Contemporary art have long been represented here in Houston by Jasper Johns, and then more recently by Brice Marden, and Robert Rauschenberg. Having the museum so close by is like having art lessons on demand - a whole new and beautiful world.
Love your spring post and thanks for the shout out to Grant! Can't believe he is three. A very big THANK YOU for his 3 dollars.Wish you could have seen the look on his face. He basically thinks he's a millionaire but was sure to save every last penny in his piggy bank. Love you much. You are more than a great aunt - you are an awesome aunt.
