Wednesday

"The Sun will not rise or set without my notice, and thanks."

-Winslow Homer (1836 - 1910)
Visit to "A matter of Abstraction" & "On Abstraction" @ MAC MTL.

(Inordinate # of monkeys milling about, Wednesday night is free admission after all)

Upright Motive No 5, 1955 -1956, bronze 4/7, by Henry Moore had a red Gerbera w/ yellow stigma tucked into one of the three holes on the vertical statue, a stunning effect in the sculpture garden at sunset, no less.  Total but temporary completion, now & then, Life & Art., Bronze & petal fused momentarily, just for me.

"Pur Laine",2012 (for Jan Wong) came into my mind while I strolled around.
White sheep (101 of them?) in a snowstorm, oil on canvas, big.
 Maybe mirrored snowflakes.
